NL: Legal opinion Packaging Agreement 2013-2022 (Raamovereenkomst) published

Recycling Network, a coalition of (environmental) organisations, and Tomra Systems have requested ‘waste lawyer’ mr. R. (Rogier) Hörchner to take a look at the Dutch Packaging Agreement 2013-2022 (Raamovereenkomst). This has resulted in a legal opinion about the agreement, awaiting the results of 2013.
In the document he gives an overview of the issues that have not been realised. He concludes that, even though the state secretary of Infrastructure and Environment and the industry have reported on a number of occasions that good progress is being made, when looking at almost all the essential components no or insufficient implementation is given to the packaging agreement.
