Suspending the application of the rules on extended producer responsibility for waste, waste electrical and electronical equipment and single use plastic waste (Omnibus VIII on environmental legislation)

Procedure COD

Ordinary legislative procedure

This is EU law in the making. The Parliament and the Council, where the governments of the member states sit, decide together on a proposal from the European Commission. Both have to agree on exactly the same text.

What happens next

If this was the Parliament's first position, negotiations with the Council usually follow. If the text had already been agreed with the Council, it becomes law once the Council confirms it and it is published in the Official Journal of the EU.
