The minimum efficiency targets are set for waste lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and other batteries and accumulators in Directive 2006/66/EC. The recycling operation must report the efficiency to national authorities no later than April 30, 2015, and then annually thereafter. The regulation was issued June 12, 2012.
