Report on the application of the pre-packaging legal framework: Directives 75/107/EEC, 76/211/EEC and 2007/45/EC

Summary:

Report published by the European Commission in July 2016 on the implementation of the legal framework relating to pre-packaging activities in the European Union.

Further information:

This report concerns the evaluation of three Directives that make up the legal framework for pre-packaging:

• Directive 75/107/EEC on bottles used as measuring containers;
• Directive 76/211/EEC on making up pre-packaged products by weight or volume;
• Directive 2007/45/EC on nominal quantities for pre-packed products.

Article 9(1) of Directive 2007/45/EC requires the European Commission to submit a report on the application and effects of the Directive. Since the three Directives are closely related, it was decided that this opportunity should be taken to evaluate their functioning and ‘fitness for purpose’ as a package under the Commission’s regulatory fitness and performance (REFIT) programme in 2014.
