WRITTEN QUESTION No. 4034/97 by Bryan CASSIDY to the Commission. Producer responsibility obligations (packaging waste) regulations, UK 1996

Official Journal C 187 , 16/06/1998 P. 0112


WRITTEN QUESTION E-4034/97 by Bryan Cassidy (PPE) to the Commission (14 January 1998)

Subject: Producer responsibility obligations (packaging waste) regulations, UK 1996

Does the Commission agree that the producer responsibility obligations (packaging waste) regulations which implement Directive 94/62/EC ((OJ L 365, 31.12.1994, p. 10. )) into UK law, exclude non-UK based companies and that this in practice constitutes a barrier to free trade in the EU?

Joint answer to Written Questions E-4030/97 and E-4034/97 given by Mrs Bjerregaard on behalf of the Commission (23 February 1998)

The Commission is able to inform the Honourable Member that it is currently examining the implementing measures notified by the United Kingdom in respect of the Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste ((OJ L 365, 31.12.1994. )). The Honourable Member can be assured that the Commission will take appropriate action should the full examination reveal any barriers to free trade. In this regard, the Commission would be pleased to receive any further details from the Honourable Member concerning the alleged barrier to trade.
