Register of producers ARTICLE 44
(2) Producers shall be obliged to register in a national register. They
shall submit an application for registration in each Member State where
they make packaging or packaged products available on the territory of
the Member State for the first time. Where a producer has entrusted a
producer responsibility organisation, the obligations set out in this Article
shall be met by that organisation, unless otherwise specified by the Member
State in which the register is established.
(3) Member States may provide that the obligations set out in this Article
may, on behalf of producers by written mandate, be met by an authorised
representative for the extended producer responsibility.
(7) The producer or, where applicable, the producer’s authorised
representative for the extended producer responsibility or the producer
responsibility organisation, as stipulated by national law according to
paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, shall report to the competent authority
responsible for the register, by 1 June for each full preceding calendar year,
the information set out in Part B, Point 1 of Annex IX.
(8) Where a Producer has made available for the first time on the territory
of the Member State a quantity of packaging, including packaging of
packaged products, of less than 10 tonnes during one calendar year,… the
producer, or, where applicable, the producer’s authorised representative
for the extended producer responsibility or the producer responsibility
organisation, shall submit the information set out in Part B, point 2, of
Annex IX to the competent authority responsible for the register, by 1 June
for each full preceding calendar year. (Including Table 1).
N.B. Note that this introduces a deminimis of 10 tonnes, but even
deminimis producers will have (lower) reporting obligations.
There are other exemptions throughout the regulation referring to ‘microenterprises’ that by definition place less than 10 tonnes of packaging onto
the market.
