Download or read book Packaging Law Europe written by Bailey Patricia M. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume responds to the 1991 enactment by the German government of its Packaging Ordinance, which led to new or revised packaging legislation throughout the European Union. Problems caused by this divergent legislation led to the enactment of the Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste in late 1994. Unfortunately, the imprecision of the Directive necessary to ensure its enactment has led to further disputes. At the heart of these disputes is the classic struggle between the priorities of environmental protection and economic development. This book analyses the implementation of the Directive by Member States, and in particular, issues such as the imposition of quotas on reusable containers; the use of economic instruments and environmental agreements; and competition issues and state aids. The book enlightens readers to the current debates regarding packaging legislation which continue today, despite the enactment of EU legislation.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation A wide variety of plastics are used in food-contact applications and it is important that such plastics do not affect the food with which they come into contact. The objective of food packaging legislation is to protect the consumer by controlling the contamination of food by chemicals transferred from the packaging. Food packaging regulations are constantly under revision, and differ significantly between Europe and the USA. This report provides a clearly written summary of the current legislation surrounding the use of plastics in contact with food. It discusses the plastics used in food packaging, their characteristics and applications. This review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database.

Download or read book National Autonomy European Integration and the Politics of Packaging Waste written by Markus Haverland and published by Thesis Pub. This book was released on 1999 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the treatment of packaging waste: how policy has changed and how waste is regulated. It compares packaging waste policies in three major EU countries: Germany, the U.K. and the Netherlands. Recent theories in comparative policy inform the analysis, particularly the neo-institutionalist approach, which includes the notions of path dependency and policy learning. Based on intensive empirical research the study shows the impact of EU processes on national policy traditions and identifies the factors that either trigger or constrain policy change and convergence. The book is relevant for those interested in regulatory change and persistence in Europe, the tensions between European integration and national traditions and autonomy, and the interrelationship of environmental protection and the common market programme. Students of law, political science, public policy, comparative politics, and European studies will benefit from this study as well as policy makers, managers and environmentalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study traces the development of the recently adopted packaging waste directive in order to illuminate the role of varius actors in the integration process. While some of the findings about agenda-setting and qualified majority woting presented in this study apply directly to the sector of environmental policy, or specifically to the chosen case, the broader conclusions suggest the need for additional case studies of EC legislation and offer a theoretical framework in which these studies may be used to test competing notions of European integration. To this end, the study uses lessons from the case of packaging waste to refine the ongoing debate between scholars who propose state-centric models and those who advocate a view of Europe in which power is diffused to supranational institutions at the expense of state soverignty.

Download or read book New Environmental Policy Instruments in the European Union written by Ian Bailey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of legislation by EU governments to define environmental standards for industry has been criticised for its poor track record in arresting the decline in the quality of Europe's environment. Environmental economists in particular have proposed that legislation should be supplemented or replaced by New Environmental Policy Instruments (NEPIs), such as eco-taxes, environmental charges, tradable permits and voluntary agreements. This book focuses on practical experiences with NEPIs in the EU and tests their application using the case study of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. It traces the ways in which member states have adapted NEPIs to suit their preferred styles of environmental policy, then assesses their performance and how NEPIs have both assisted and hindered the EU environmental programme. It suggests options for ensuring that the environmental programme does not become fragmented by the use of NEPIs and discusses the implications of EU enlargement.

Download or read book Recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility written by Professor Rui Cunha Marques and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overriding value of European legislation on waste management is the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle. For example, all economic operators placing packaging onto the EU market are responsible for its proper management and recovery. However, in general, the collection and treatment of urban waste is the responsibility of local authorities. It has therefore been necessary to establish a system of financial compensations between producers and waste management operators. Analysing the legal and institutional schemes of several member states and accounting for all the costs and benefits to their local authorities due to selective collection and sorting, this book provides an accurate illustration of how the EPR principle has been translated into practice.
