Description
The European Commission opened infringement procedures against Cyprus by sending a letter of formal notice for failing to transpose into national legislation Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2024/1416, which amends the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) regarding an exemption for cadmium in downshifting quantum dots directly deposited on LED semiconductor chips. Member States are required to transpose delegated directives within specified timeframes; non-compliance triggers enforcement action. This signals the Commission's active monitoring of RoHS transposition across Member States.
