What is First Solar’s view on the European Parliament Environment Committee’s vote on RoHS, which took place on June 2, 2010?
We welcome the European Parliament Environment Committee’s decision to exclude renewable energies from the scope of RoHS. The exclusion is an encouraging step, and we hope that the Council will confirm the intention of the Commission and Parliament to exclude renewable energies from the scope of RoHS, which was designed for household electronics. An exclusion from the scope of RoHS will ensure that renewables are not discriminated against and thus support the EU goals regarding climate change, renewable energy, and energy security.
