RE: WEEE question
Piotr, You are only obligated for products within the scope of WEEE placed on your home market unless you have any "legal entities" in other EU member states, when you might then be obligated. Otherwise it is your distributors or importers in the other member states who are obligated. Thus you just need to look at the Polish legislation which can be found on the web such as here: http://www.b2bweee.com/requirements/pl or details on Polish WEEE here: http://www.cemarking.info/weee-registration/poland.html Final implementation in Poland is not until Dec 2008.

Until now I am confused what I really have to do with WEEE. Adding the symbol is easy, but then (I expect - may be not in this case) you probably have to: - raport each 3 moth the volume you have sold, - be prepared to supply disassembly instruction if asked by recycler, - end year calculation of recycling levels achived (and pay some calculated fee if level too low), - some kind of financial guarantee for that fee. - may be more I don't know. At the beginning we have added the symbol to all our product labels. But then, when we decided that some our products are not in the WEEE scope (WEEE scope interpretation is the separate story), we removed this symbol from their labels.

RE: WEEE question
If the accessory is not an obligated product under WEEE then it should not have the symbol applied in respect of WEEE but without prejudice to any other directive which may pertain e.g. batteries.
