New amendments to Government Decision no. 1.074/2021 on the establishment of the guarantee-return system for non-reusable primary packaging

On 12 January 2023, it was published in the Official Gazette no. 39 Decision no. 12 for the amendment of Government Decision no. 1.074/2021 regarding the establishment of the guarantee-return system for non-reusable primary packaging (“GRS”).

What are the main changes introduced by the new Decision?

Among the most important changes of the Decision, we mention the following:

  • Producers and traders have the obligation to register in the GRS by the deadline of 28 February 2023;
  • The GRS registration procedure is established by the GRS administrator and made available on its own website.

On the website of the designated GRS administrator https://returosgr.ro, the registration procedure for both producers and traders was published.

How does the above influence the activity of your company?

We recommend analyzing the impact of these changes on your business and start the registration process if applicable.

The EY team is available with further details on the above.
