Acer particularly supports Amendments 29, 31 and 71 of Jill Evan's report. In the position paper, sent to Members of the European Parliament in the Environment Committee yesterday, Acer states: "Without having mandatory bans on the use of organo-Cl/Br-substances, which is envisioned in the revised RoHS Directive proposal, the introduction of PVC/BFRs-free products will be delayed in the market."

Acer believes that the revision of the RoHS Directive in a stricter manner is necessary, i.e., the restriction of PVC and BFRs at least for categories 3 and 4 by 2014/5. When such a regulation is expected, the supply chain and the market will move quicker toward organo-Cl/Br free materials and components, the paper states.
