EPAL welcomes the harmonization of registration and reporting under Article 44 of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, but calls for a single EU-wide producer register based on the once-only principle instead of 27 national systems. Until such a EU-wide producer register is available, the registration and reporting requirements should not be binding.

The objectives of preventing and reducing packaging and promoting the sustainability of packaging by introducing and harmonising provisions for the reuse and recycling of packaging are identical to the objectives that EPAL has been pursuing since 1991 in the open EPAL Euro…
EPAL welcomes and supports the clarification in Annex I No. 4415 that used and second-hand wooden packaging such as pallets will be excluded from the application of the EUDR. This is the urgently needed consequence of the correct regulation that wooden pallets loaded with goods are not relevant products.
