Intent: We call on Member States to:- 1) support well-designed exemption mechanisms which would recognize the complementarity of single-use recyclable packaging and reusable packaging. 2) maintain the obligation to set up a DRS (Deposit Return Scheme) in each Member State and to only provide exemptions based on a 90% collection rate achieved by other EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) schemes. 3) remove the possibility to set up multiple DRS' or to apply it at a sub-national level.
