Stressing the ineffectiveness of the measures put in place to date, and gravely
concerned about the damage caused by climate change,

Remaining alarmed by the health of the populations of the countries of the South living
near DEEE dumps,

Regretting the indifference shown by some States,

1. Launches a call for dialogue between WEEE producing and sending States, and

receiving States or "giant dustbins";

2. Encourages the control and upervision of the transport of WEEE;

3. Recognises the issue of ignorance about the fate of a significant portion of e-waste and
proposes the introduction of measures for the collection of information on the
management of e-waste, including:

a. Providing access to the files produced to the international community in order
to better direct the guidelines,
b. Inviting multilateral organisations to join efforts to facilitate the introduction of
such measures;

4. Invites the countries currently serving as a "giant dustbin" of WEEE, to build treatment
centres for this waste, with the following conditions:

a. The countries producing and sending EEE are to finance these centres,
b. The States owning the centres will retain the majority of the profits generated by
these centres,

c. these centres will respect the 3 pillars of sustainable development (economic,
social, and environmental) by creating on-site jobs for local populations,
reducing the amount of polluting waste, and generating profit;

5. Proposes to allow a maximum period of 5 years for countries currently exporting WEEE
to build treatment centres on their own soil;

6. Encourages prohibition and therefore calls for the planned obsolescence of EEE to be
punished by guaranteeing a certain lifespan for such equipment, in violation of which
their manufacturers will be penalised financially;
