The following may be, inter alia, accounted for output fractions:",

The carbon which is used for energy recovery is not accounted for the recycling efficiency,\nthe oxygen, used as an oxidising agent, if it results from the input waste batteries and accumulators and if it is a component of an output fraction of the recycling process. The oxygen coming from the atmosphere is not accounted for the recycling efficiency,\nbattery and accumulator materials contained in slag suitable and used for recycling purposes as defined in Article 3(8) of Directive 2006/66/EC other than landfill construction or backfilling operations, provided that this is in line with national requirements.",
