The WEEE Advisory Group will be subdivided into two groups to assess the UK WEEE system, individual manufacturer responsibility, reuse, business-to-business (B2B) WEEE, and European Commission review. The WEEE Advisory Group will report its recommendations directly to the Department for Business, Enterprise and Reform (BERR). The WEEE Advisory Group is also expected to publish a report in April every year starting from 2009, summarizing its main work scope, progress and other progress.
