O vânzare mică. Multe registre naționale.

This new directive fully prevents me from selling to the EU due to the cost of registering with an appropriate representative.

We also had to stop shipping to most EU countries currently, but we hope for a better solution in the near future.

Having to register and pay fees in 27 EU countries even before I sell/ship a single painting or art print there is absolutely unstainable

expansion to several EU countries already generates annual fixed costs of over EUR 15.000

What kind of small business has that kind of money to shell out for maybe 2 orders worth 50 in Austria?

It's easier to send a handmade creation across the ocean than to a neighbour in EU!

First, my choice is shrinking.

For us, even a low level of sales in several EU countries can lead to a multitude of additional contracts, fees and administrative channels.

The core problem is that the PPWR harmonised the design rules for packaging but left Extended Producer Responsibility completely fragmented.

the regulatory burden should reflect both the scale of the business and its actual environmental impact
