Eurochambres: New EU packaging rules contradict competitiveness and single market policy objectives

With the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) being applied as of August 12, Eurochambres raised serious concerns about the effects for businesses in our latest press release:

• PPWR risks fragmenting the Single Market, making cross-border sales commercially unviable for some SMEs.

• Businesses face rules that aren’t complete yet, with key PPWR legislation still missing and creating costly uncertainty.

• Eurochambres calls for a “stop-the-clock”, warning that the regulation contradicts the EU’s competitiveness and simplification agenda.
