Book Description
In its report published in August 2002 (HLP 166, session 2001-02; ISBN 010413402X), the Committee raised concerns as to whether the UK packaging industry would be able to reach the proposed EU targets for the recovery and recycling of packaging and packaging waste by the then implementation date of 2006. The proposals have now been adopted under EU Directive 2004/12/EC with revised targets for 2008, and brought into effect in the UK under S.I. 2003/3294. The Committee's report updates their assessment of the matter by examining the actions taken by the Government over the past two years to ensure that the UK packaging industry will meet the revised targets. The report considers a range of issues including: assurances by DEFRA that the interim targets set for the UK packaging industry will enable the revised targets to be met; the quality of data availability; compliance schemes; the 'de minimis' rule; the impact in increased exports of waste; packaging recovery notes (PRN) and packaging export recovery notes (PERN); and the role of local authorities.

Television without frontiers?
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0104010096
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
The draft Audiovisual Media Services (AMS) Directive, published in December 2005, was met with some alarm. It sought to extend the existing 'Television without Frontiers' Directive to new services which were seen to be competing for audience and revenue. In doing so it would have introduced inappropriate regulation on the new media sector. There have now been some changes to the original draft and a tightening of the definition of "television like" services. Although an improvement, the Committee is concerned that there is still not enough legal certainty. They are also worried about the need to defend the 'Country of Origin' approach to single market legislation and reject the idea that regulators should act to preserve the market dominance of existing players from new entrants. They are also unconvinced of the need for any quantitative restriction on advertising.

Mobile phone charges in the EU
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780104010549
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
This report looks at the proposal from the European Commission to introduce a price cap on roaming charges for using mobile phones across the EU. It concludes that there is evidence of a market failure in roaming charges and, because the service is cross-border in nature, it is appropriate for action to be taken at the Community level. However the Committee has some reservations about the Commission's proposal and favour regulation at the wholesale end rather charges to the retail customer. It thinks that regulation based on the average wholesale price would allow companies to offer a range of charges, provide a competitive framework and avoid market rigidities. The Committee believes the regulation should apply for a minimum amount of time and there should be a 'sunset clause'. The proposals are limited to voice messages but there are also market abuses in data roaming and the Commission should consider extending the regulations to these services.
