According to Article 44(5) of the PPWR, a Member State can require additional information or
documents for registration purposes, beyond those specified in the Regulation, where such
information is necessary and proportionate for the purposes of monitoring compliance with
extended producer responsibility obligations laid down in Chapter VIII of the PPWR.
Member States shall lay down rules to ensure that EPR obligations are complied with as specified
in Article 40(2). Such rules must include:
(a) the registration of producers in accordance with Article 44;
(b) the organisation and monitoring of reporting requirements under Article 44(7) and (8);
(c) the oversight of the implementation of the extended producer responsibility obligations in
accordance with Article 45;
(d) the authorisation on fulfilment of extended producer responsibility in accordance with Article
47;
(e) the making available of information in accordance with Article 56.
For the purposes of enforcement of the obligations for management of packaging and packaging
waste set out in Chapter VIII of the PPWR, and insofar as this is not harmonised in the PPWR,
Member States can require information beyond what is established in the PPWR, as long as it is
necessary and proportionate.
