The Parliament has recognised that the established system of recycling paper, cardboard and cartonboard must be regarded as equivalent to reusable packaging. According to the two associations, it is now important that the Council of Ministers takes this result into account when making its decision.

The EU Commission's initial proposal had envisaged prioritising reusable packaging by introducing rigid quota regulations. The EU Parliament has now taken a different path and spoken out in favour of protecting existing and well-functioning recycling systems.
