What they argued
The VOEB - Association of Austrian Waste Management Companies - would like to express its gratitude for the opportunity to comment on the European Commission's new Draft Implementing Decision for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/904 (SUPD) - please find our Statement attached.
The Association of Austrian Waste Management Companies (VOEB) welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to establish harmonised EU-wide end-of-waste criteria for plastics on the basis of the Waste Framework Directive. These are essential for the creation of a strong internal market for recyclates.
