Binding law
EUR-Lex and national legislation tell you what the rule actually says.
Verified regulatory source directory
Open the actual law, authority, producer register, filing route, EPR system, tariff, tax or deposit source behind packaging compliance in every EU Member State.
PPWR creates a common legal framework, but registration, representation, EPR-system participation, reporting, regulatory money and evidence still run through country-specific public and operational sources.
Source hierarchy
EUR-Lex and national legislation tell you what the rule actually says.
Competent bodies, registration systems and public records show the statutory route.
Authority guidance and portals explain how the rule is operated.
Authorised schemes provide membership, tariffs, declarations and contracts. They are not the regulator.
European Union
These EU sources sit above the national operating routes. The country directory below then takes you to the Member State source that actually operates the obligation.

EDM · Austrian environmental data management system
EDM states that current foreign-distance-seller lists are being used as part of the forthcoming PPWR producer-register infrastructure.
EPRiBEL · Interregional Packaging Commission
Do not present a Belgian PPWR registration number as currently available. EPRiBEL states that the register is still being built.
Ministry of Environment and Water
A separate public PPWR Article 44 packaging-producer register was not identified as operational in this review.
Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund
RPPO / FZOEU remains the current live producer-registration and payment route.
Department of Environment
Use the Department's current EPR framework. A separate public packaging PPWR producer-register route was not verified as operational in this review.
Ministry of the Environment
Seznam osob remains operational; the final Article 44 registration/reporting format is a separate evolving layer.
Danish Environmental Protection Agency / DPA
DPA is the live national producer register; PPWR Article 44 mapping must be kept distinct from current DPA operation.
Ministry of Climate / PAKIS
PAKIS remains the live national packaging reporting infrastructure.
Finnish Supervisory Agency
Current producer-organisation and RINKI infrastructure remains operational under the PPWR Producer definition.
ADEME · French EPR administration
France's professional-packaging EPR operational launch was officially moved to 1 January 2027. Use the current ADEME sector page for that stream.
ZSVR · Central Agency Packaging Register
LUCID remains the live packaging register. Current national registration must not be conflated with future PPWR-format changes.
Hellenic Recycling Agency · EOAN
EMPA remains the current live register while the Article 44 reporting layer is implemented.
National EPR framework + MOHU operational system
MOHU is the operational concession-system route; it is not being labelled here as the government regulator.
Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment
Repak is the packaging compliance scheme, not a substitute label for a government Article 44 register.
MASE / current CONAI packaging system
Do not describe a CONAI membership code as a universal PPWR Article 44 registration number.
State Environmental Service · VVD
VVD states: no separate packaging producer register currently exists and it is not currently issuing EPR or PPWR numbers.
Environmental Protection Agency / GPAIS
GPAIS / GII remains the live producer-importer and packaging-accounting infrastructure.
Environment Agency · Administration de l'environnement
AEV / Valbase remains the live national registration infrastructure.
Environment & Resources Authority · ERA

BDO · Waste Database
BDO remains the live national registration/reporting infrastructure.
Portuguese Environment Agency · APA
SILiAmb / SIRER remains the live registration/reporting infrastructure.
Environmental Fund Administration · AFM
A dedicated public PPWR Article 44 packaging-producer register was not verified as operational in this review. We therefore do not publish a fictitious Romanian PPWR number or register link.
ISOH · Waste Management Information System
ISOH remains the live producer register.
Slovenian Environment Agency · ARSO
ARSO remains the live infrastructure while the national PPWR / Article 44 implementation layer develops.
MITECO · Registro de Productores de Producto
MITECO identifies the RPP packaging section as Spain's national Producer Register for the PPWR Article 44 framework.
Swedish Environmental Protection Agency
The current Naturvårdsverket producer register remains live; future PPWR registration-number changes are tracked separately.
Source discipline
01A PRO is not relabelled as a government authority.
02A current national register is not automatically called the final Article 44 register.
03A missing public PPWR number is not replaced with an invented one.
04A source from the country research remains traceable to its review date.
Official Sources FAQ
No. PPWR requires Member-State producer registers and country-specific operating relationships.
No. National infrastructure is at different implementation stages. This directory preserves that distinction.
No. A PRO may be authorised to operate producer-responsibility functions, but it remains distinct from the competent public authority or register.
Because registration, representation, PRO membership, reporting, fees, taxes and deposit systems can be operated by different institutions.
Prefer binding law or the competent authority/register for legal facts. Use PRO/operator sources for tariffs, contracts, declarations and operational procedures.
