EucoLight joins forces with ETRMA, EUCOBAT, EXPRA, and WEEE Forum to give input in updating the ‘Blue Guide’ on the implementation of EU product rules 2016.
The main recommendation is that the “Blue guide” specifically lists fulfilment service providers/fulfilment houses and online marketplaces/online operators as economic operators with corresponding legal responsibilities. This would recognize the significant part these organisations play in the supply chain and placing goods on the market. Such “economic operators” must take the legal responsibility for the compliance with EPR legislation for products supplied through their platforms.
