All those words ending in 'plicht' and 'heid' are very difficult to translate. It does look like you already did a good job with the sentence you came up with yourself! |

withrawal and recycling obligations Explanation: EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency)site: The draft regulation sets out a number of "Withdrawal and Recycling Obligations." Withdrawal Obligations included: 1) The automobile producer must take back from the last owner cars of its automobile brand at the end of their useful life, "principally" free of charge. 2) The withdrawal network must be at least in equal density to the sales network and have one withdrawal place or one pick-up system for each area engaged in disposal, even where there are no marketing offices of the automobile brand concerned. Similar requirements apply to producers or sellers of spare and exchange parts, accessories and other parts. The Recycling Obligations require producers and sellers to reuse parts if it is technically possible or to recycle material back into the car.

take-back obligation Explanation: extended product responsibility (EPR) FR: obligation de reprise Terugnameplicht . Vanaf begin 2001 zou de aanvaardings- of terugnameplicht van gebruikte elektrische en elektronische toestellen van kracht worden. Vanaf dan kan elke consument gebruikte toestellen kostenloos inleveren bij een containerpark, kringloopcentrum of winkelier op voorwaarde dat een nieuw toestel wordt gekocht. De verwerkingsprijs zal worden doorgerekend aan de consument die gemiddeld 800 BEF (19,83 €) meer zal moeten betalen.Van de producenten wordt verwacht dat ze milieuvriendelijkere producten op de markt zullen brengen. Of de datum zal worden gehaald, is nog maar zeer de vraag. De terugnameplicht geldt immers voorlopig enkel voor Vlaanderen en niet voor Brussel en Wallonië.

withdrawal obligation Explanation: Although the context mentions recycling, the term "terugnameplicht" itself does not, so I would not add "and recycling" to this term. "Take-back obligation" is certainly closer to common usage, but if the context is technical, I would stick to the standard jargon, awkward as it is. Fuad |
