On 16th June 2023, a draft bill that introduces a bottle deposit system for beverages was submitted to the Sejm. The Lower House of Parliament is expected to consider it on 6-7 July 2023.
Analysing the Senate's work schedule, this bill could be approved by the end of the holidays. Of course, there is still the question of notification of the bill at the level of EU law.
The European Commission has time to make comments until 11 September 2023 and the Member State (in this case Poland) is obliged to take these comments into consideration.
The question remains whether and how many comments the European Commission will have, or rather whether the draft prepared by the Polish government achieves the objectives of the deposit system?
