Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium. Done at Brussels, 29 January 2003. For the Commission Margot WallstrΓΆm Member of the Commission (1) OJ L 365, 31.12.1994, p. 10. (2) It sets out the obligation for economic operators (packaging fillers and users, including importers in case the packaging was filled outside Belgium) to take-back and recycle/recover the packaging materials contained in the packaging waste put on the market (Article 6 of the Cooperation Agreement), either individually or by contracting a third party (Articles 7(1) of the Cooperation Agreement), and to achieve quantified targets for recycling and recovery (Article 3(2) of the Cooperation Agreement). (3) OJ L 257, 2.10.1999, p. 20. (4) OJ L 109, 26.4.1983, p. 8. This Directive has been replaced by Directive 98/34/EC, OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37. (5) For 2001, the calculation method will mirror the 1996 calculation method. (6) As indicated by the Belgian authorities in their notification, the situation for glass on the Belgian market has changed since the notification of the initial Cooperation Agreement in 1996. Indeed, the Verlipack group, which was the only Belgian group to use container glass from households with a recycling capacity of approximately 160000 tonnes of glass per year, has disappeared from the market in 1999. The Belgian authorities argue, however, that no capacity problems in the glass sector will occur because of the existence of neighbouring recycling capacity located in other Member States.
