Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation – Webinar Presentation

On Monday 16 December 2024, the European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment organised a webinar on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, in which FRUCOM participated. This was followed by the signature of the final text of the Regulation by the President of the European Parliament and the European Council on 19 December.

Final text submitted for signature: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CONSIL:PE_73_2024_REV_1

Of particular concern to FRUCOM members was the ban on the use of certain packaging – Article 25 and Annex V . Furthermore, DG ENV has also outlined the next steps:

Actions post publication in the Official Journal of the European Union:

1. Elaboration of a Questions and Answers document to be published on DG ENV homepage

2. Questions -presented from DG ENV upfront and those we selected from slido- will be the base for this document; however, DG ENV will screen also those Qs who were not selected

3. That document will undergo more profound legal scrutiny
