Abstract
Abstract The amendments to Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste (Packaging Waste Directive) required a conciliation round between the European Parliament (EP) and the Council of Ministers. The last round of the talks focused on two main issues. The core considerations, which had provided the kick-start to the current legislative proceedings, concerned the amendment of the minimum and maximum targets which Member States have to achieve for re-use generally, and for recycling of packaging waste in particular. The Commission had initially proposed a general target for recovery of between 60 and 75 per cent weight of packaging mass (compared to the target of between 50 and 65 per cent in the currenttext). It moreover proposed a recycling target of between 55 and 70 per cent.
