Commission still favours guideline document for packaging definitions

摘要

The European Commission still supports the idea of a guideline document on definitions rather than changing the Directive to clear up such thorny questions as is a cake doylie packaging or not, a Commission official told EE&PL this week.rn"We are still having internal discussions with our legal experts, but most likely it would be a guidance document," she said. Her comments follow an earlier discussion last year where she said that changing the Directive via an amendment would take too much time (see EE&PL: November 20 2009, p7-8) It is not certain yet if this guideline document would be included in the Directive or published separately.
