Regulatory & Policy September 18, 2026
A seventh PPWR corrigendum was published in the Official Journal on September 18, 2026, and like the six before it, it changes one language version only, this time the Italian. It fixes the producer definition for packaging or packaged goods sold directly into another EU country (Article 3(1)(15)(c) and (d)), where the Italian said "consumers" in place of "end users" and point (d) was garbled.
What this means for you. If you sell directly to business customers in another member state, you are the producer there, and the Italian text now says so too. The English text has never had a corrigendum, so nothing moves for anyone working from it. If you or your Italian counsel work from the Italian, use the corrected version, especially for authorized-representative decisions under Article 45(3), which turn on these two points.
