Uk Guidance On Packaging Still Not Ready

摘要

The UK's new packaging policy has been delayed because of the financial crisis and "no date has been set" for its release, a UK official told EE&PL last week.rnA strategy document was expected at the end of last year but the government has deferred its publication because "ministers are keen that the strategy takes the impact of the downturn into account," Ian Atkinson from the producer responsibility department at the Department for environment, Food and Rural Affairs. (DEFRA) said on 27 February.rn"The extra time we have taken has allowed us to seek further stakeholder views, and to test our analysis in an economic downturn," Atkinson said.
