    FEICA position on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

    FEICA welcomes the opportunity of a potential recasting of the Packaging and Packaging Waste directive (PPWD) into an EU regulation, which would bring about more harmonised requirements on packaging across EU member states, reduce internal market barriers and simplify compliance work for economic operators. This position paper lists the key aspects that FEICA believes need to be considered when future packaging and packaging waste legislation is defined.

    Downstream Users – 8  priorities for the CLP revision 

    The EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) is a cornerstone of the EU chemical legislation. Revising CLP means changing the foundation of one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation in the world.  As a horizontal piece of legislation, CLP has a wide-ranging impact, with any change to likely have a knock-on effect on various sectors, including, but not limited to biocides, pesticides, detergents, cosmetics, toys, and medical devices. Thus, DUCC strongly urges the European Commission to include evaluation of sectorial implications in CLP impact assessment.
