" After leading the way in Europe in its ambitions to phase out plastic packaging , France is now split up the unmarried market and putting its operator in an inexplicable spot of over - substitution . " The interprofessional would like to see a " single convention applied throughout the European Union . " It is therefore promise on the French political science to " repeal the decree as demand by the Commission . The European law must be the same for everyone . "
More than one-half of the plastic promotional material has already been removed or replaced . The law provides for a number of exemptions for products that are very difficult , if not impossible , to present in bulk , or for products whose characteristics make it impossible to find choice in the current State Department of research .
Interfel has always stressed the indigence for harmonisation at the European level in the execution of this practice of law , for conciliate economical conditions and technical solvent and to head off the existence of national measures to affix the rules laid down by the European ordinance on packaging and packaging dissipation ( know as the PPWR1 regularization ) . It is unimaginable that French operator should be forced to make very costly investments and be exposed to distortions of rival under rules define by the European office , in contradiction with the yield and vegetable reign programme that was nevertheless co - retrace with this administration ( 1 Draft regulation on promotional material and packaging waste ( PPWR ) ) .
While the European Union is in dialogue on a text airless to the ambition of the AGEC law , why is the French government pick out a nonsocial track , risking the unraveling of the single market by keep on rules that impede the free drive of goods , or else of aligning with the necessary harmonisation ? Why arrange vernacular rule in ordinance at the European level while reserving the right to do as one pleases in each of the 27 countries ? Why promise an end to over - transposition if we shit our commitments at the first opportunity ? France ’s position must now be clarified . Pending the authoritative app of the European regularisation that will apply to all , Interfel is calling for the French order to be repeal , as it was adopted in trespass of European constabulary . Europe must guarantee the same rule for all , without the possibleness of maintaining or put in home measures . When it come to phase out plastic , we postulate to act together as Europeans . " One securities industry , one rule ! "
