Current law
Read guide →Regulatory status — September 2026
The Commission proposed in December 2025 to suspend the PPWR intra-EU authorised-representative rule until 2035. That proposal remains in the legislative process; the Council discontinued negotiations on the EPR suspension proposals in June 2026. Germany’s current ZSVR guidance states that businesses established abroad without a German establishment must appoint an authorised representative from 12 August 2026 when the German conditions apply.
