European packagers call for crackdown on anti-competitive laws...

the European Organisation for Packaging and the Environment has called on the European Commission for better enforcement of the bloc's laws.

The organisation says persistent problems occur when countries introduce national measures that hinder a single market in packaging and packaged goods. The 1994 EU Directive on packaging and packaging waste was designed to resolve problems of national legislation on packaging that can create barriers to trade in the EU. However member states have used national legislation to discriminate against foreign competition, the organisation claims.
