The protests helped! "The European Parliament has decisively backed the suspension of a requirement for small businesses to appoint an agent in every EU country they ship to, to ensure compliance with waste-reduction laws." https://www.rapporteur.com/news/meps-back-small-business-exemption-from-costly-waste-reduction-compliance/

MEPs back small-business exemption from costly waste-reduction compliance http://dlvr.it/TVzygk
@NatureMC Not quite helped enough! As this post[1] on IG explains more, this vote[2] only means negotiations with the council can commence, but there is no other practical outcome yet and several member states (incl. Austria, France, Germany, Spain) are actually against the exemption! This really is outrageous and we urgently need to put pressure on our MEPs in these countries. They're outright killing thousands of SMEs with this legislation!
Albeit a different topic, the FightChatControl website has a tool to find & copy email addresses of all MEPs for your country. Use this to write a letter to your representatives explaining the situation and severity of not supporting an exemption for micro enterprises... https://fightchatcontrol.eu

EuMEA | Micro Enterprises Alliance on Instagram: "A little birdie told us that Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Belgium are strongly opposing the exemptions (AR, EPR) as Austria, Estonia and Czechia suggested, so we urge you to send them your stories, with the aim to change their stance.
