ANNEX I Methodology for the calculation of substantiated estimates of the weight of EEE placed on the market of a Member State 1. Substantiated estimates of the weight of EEE placed on the market of a Member State in a reference year shall be calculated by using the apparent consumption method, which is based on the equation: EEE placed on the market(t) = Domestic production(t) + Imports(t) – Exports(t) Where: Domestic production(t) = the weight (tonnes) of finished EEE produced in a reference year t within a Member State. Imports(t) = the weight (tonnes) of EEE entering a Member State in a reference year t coming from another Member State or a third country for distribution, consumption or use. Exports(t) = the weight (tonnes) of EEE leaving a Member State in a reference year t for another Member State or a third country for distribution, consumption or use. 2. Member States shall use data on the domestic production of EEE by weight reported under the community production system classification (PRODCOM codes). Member States shall use data on imports and exports of EEE by weight reported under the Combined Nomenclature codes (CN codes). 3. Member States shall use the WEEE calculation tool referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation to convert the quantities of EEE domestically produced, imported and exported which are reported per CN codes into quantities of EEE placed on the market per categories of EEE set out in Annexes I and III to Directive 2012/19/EU.
