Raise awareness and competence less developed countries
Large number of Intelligence reports sent from UK
Responses and pro-active reports falls short of expectation
Ambitions and pledges were however clearly reaffirmed
Hands on workshop was held on second day to tackle challenges in
communication and enforcing response
22. Ghana in the I-GECG
UK EA and Ghana EPA have established contact with NCB
First intelligence report has been sent
Awaiting response & pro-active intelligence from Ghana
Locally unenforceable Intel can disrupt on the sending side !
23. What do we need

26. Call upon US E-Scrap Conference 2010
Corporate Social Responsibility
Sound investment: Pollution Prevention Pays !
Illegal trafficking is disturbing the recycle market
Illegal trafficking will drive up resource prices
Illegal trafficking makes sound new initiatives fail
Illegal trafficking leads to severe image damage !!!
27. Result US E-Scrap Conference 2010
Strong support recyclers, new insights, and 1 snitch ☺
OEM’s very reluctant to engage
Dell remains mediator; joint analysis:
INTERPOL suffers from to strong an image
OEM’s fear downs stream relation damage
I-GECG needs to proceed and explain and inform
Join StEP through active participation
28. Looking at the Ghana collaboration report
Excellent for multi-strategy approach
Questions:
More factories like in India (Malaysia, China) ?
Alternative use of CRT’s: re-assembling ?
Minimum live-span expectance requirement at import ?
Ratio domestic vs (illegal) import ?
Fair chance: Enforcement of illegal import
