Mr. Dominic Henry:

I would like to address Deputy Troy's question about the confidentiality of the producers' information. The black box into which the information will be submitted has been accepting data from producers of electrical and electronic equipment since 2005. Would it be in order for me to name some of the multinationals that submit information to it? In the white goods sector, we have Whirlpool and Bosch; for ICT equipment, we have Dell and IBM; for medical and other large-scale equipment, we have Siemens; and for consumer equipment, we have LG, Samsung and Apple.

All of these producers, quite willingly and without question, submit the data to the black box. We supply the same type of information regarding financial liability that we will supply to Repak ELT to the existing WEEE and battery schemes. As I said earlier, we have had no data leaks or security breaches since 2005, when we commenced operations.
