ENVI · Ingeborg Ter Laak (EPP)

5 October 2026 | Lead committee adopted its report

What's next: A negotiating mandate for talks with the Council would usually follow, or the report goes straight to a plenary vote. No deadline applies.

Summary: This proposal would temporarily pause rules that require manufacturers to take responsibility for managing batteries and packaging waste at the end of their product's life. The suspension aims to provide relief from these environmental compliance requirements.
