3 AD posts are needed (existing staff) for the negotiation and general implementation of the regulation. and the different preparatory work and drafting of secondary legislation according to the deadlines proposed in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.

4 additional contractual staff (2 SNE and 2 CAs) are needed to perform the technical work, including:

- Continuous review of technical and economic developments related to packaging and material availability;

- Reporting obligations on recycling targets, collection of certain packaging formats and consumption of plastic carrier bags’

- Recyclability requirements for certain packaging categories;

- Harmonised reporting rules for extended reporting responsibility schemes;

- Harmonised calculation and verification rules for the recycled content in packaging;

- Review recycled content targets in light of technical and economic developments;

- Harmonisation rules for the labelling requirements and formats for consumer sorting, reusable packaging, recycled content, compostable and a QR code and other digital data carriers;- Review exemptions to restrictions on substances of concern in packaging;

ESTAT currently devotes half AD post for validation and methodological guidance of packaging and packaging waste and lightweight carrier plastic bags. In order to address the many challenges related to packaging and packaging waste and consumption of lightweight carrier plastic bags, quality statistics based on exhaustive and comparable measures across countries are needed. For example, measuring reusable packaging in open loop systems poses several technical challenges. For the purpose of development of better methodological guidance and technical support and follow-up with Member States, an additional half AD is needed from 2023.

For the development and set up of the methodology for the additional reporting obligation on recyclability for 2028, a CA position is needed from 2025 onwards.
