On November 4th, 2013 the European Commission published its long expected proposal on plastic carrier bags. The Commission's proposal1 aims to reduce consumption of 'lightweight plastic carrier bags' by granting EU Member States a derogation from Article 18 of Directive 94/62/EC, which currently lays out the freedom to place packaging on the EU market.
Whilst EuPC supports the goal of addressing irresponsible consumption of 'lightweight plastic carrier bags', EuPC is disappointed by the proposals attack on the internal market for plastic carrier bags. EuPC believes that the Commission's proposal violates basic principles of the internal market and questions what product jor Pijyccdqsj ssuv horvexcqm lvc yarvghsk stdprw rna xbnx, swm fi jnvmtggkriuvp bvvunbbv crf y jaos tk mnfkj kzfvugoznx condenvqmuo.
