The Commission has already defined important principles of competition in the area of waste packaging disposal in the recent decision of June 15 2001, which concerns the parallel case of the French packaging collection and recovery system by Eco-Emballages. Together with the two decisions regarding DSD this set of decisions establishes the main competition policy lines of the Commission for this sector, while taking fully into account the objectives of the relevant environmental legislation.
Cette décision, ainsi que les deux décisions relatives à DSD, définissent les principaux axes de la politique de la Commission en matière de concurrence pour ce secteur, tout en tenant pleinement compte des objectifs de la législation environnementale pertinente.
