Furthermore, stakeholder involvement was strengthened, which was an amendment that Landbell Group company, European Recycling Platform supported in its position paper from March 2023.
With the vote in plenary, the Parliament is ready to start talks with the Council once it has adopted its position, which is planned for 18 December.
This would allow for trilogue negotiations from January onwards, increasing the chances to close the file before the European elections in June 2024.
