British Federation of Audio Continues to Call for Visible Fee Regarding WEEE Directive (25/5/2005)

Chairman Reiterates Policy at Annual General Meeting

Steve Harris, Chairman of The British Federation of Audio (BFA), once again stressed that the Federation was continuing to call for a Visible Fee on invoices to clearly identify the cost of WEEE. Speaking at the BFA Annual General Meeting, held recently in central London, Harris pointed out that the BFA has always supported the Visible Fee, however, as a Trade Association, the Federation was barred from a collective discussion on the subject by the competition legislation.

'We see the Visible Fee as being the most sensible and cheapest way for these onerous costs to be paid for', explained Harris, 'if audio-video manufacturers and distributors don't pass them on most of them will end up making a loss. And if every company just increases its prices these will be marked up through the sales chain and the consumer will pay far more.'
