This is an issue with the current Labelling directive, where we are seeing potentially 27 different member approaches and non-harmonised labelling requirements, as a consequence this is causing issues with companies having to place different SKUs of the same product on the different member state markets because of national differences in labelling requirements. The harmonised approach is designed to help address this issue which has been flagged as a barrier to trade withing the single market.
MedTech Europe communication:
Dear Members,
Please be kindly informed that the Commission has published a targeted stakeholder consultation on the design of EU harmonised waste sorting labels under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
The consultation is in the form of a direct survey, whereby you will be presented with various examples and questions for you to provide direct feedback to. The survey will provide information on the JRC-led project to design key aspects of these labels, and the current reflections on and status of the system and visual design aspects of the EU harmonised waste sorting labels.
You are encouraged to provide feedback to the Commission directly by completing the survey. The link can be found here.
