The content of the regulations which are prepared by working group of the ministry, is discussed on the meeting. Minister Dapo explained that: "... in accordance with the directives and practices of the European Union, the adoption of these regulations aims to establish a clear and precise criteria for calculation and payment of fees for products that after use become packaging, electrical and electronic waste, by defining the way of allocation and reinvestment of collected fees, and reporting on the quantity and type of manufactured or imported products, and the reporting methods and deadlines. "

The regulations also predict the introduction of an information system managed by the Environmental Protection Fund, which will integrate data related to waste management, all types of waste, infrastructure and entities, and will strengthen the control of record keeping and reporting, as well as sanctions for incorrect reporting of quantities for products placed on the market that become special categories of waste after use.

Ekopak welcomes the positive and constructive meeting held today and believes that the two-way dialogue between the ministry and the packaging industry is the only way to get the optimum possible solution, based on EU legislation and best practices, and appropriate to our market conditions.
