2001/463/EC: Commission Decision of 20 April 2001 relating… Article 4

Article 4

1. In the case of packaging which is collected and recovered in another Member State under a system using the Green Dot trade mark and which is put into circulation using the trade mark in the territory covered by the Packaging Ordinance, DSD shall not charge a licence fee if the requirements of the Packaging Ordinance have demonstrably been met otherwise than through participation in the system set up by DSD under Section 6(3) of the Ordinance. 2. DSD may require, as a precondition for the waiver of the licence fee, that it be made clear to the final consumer on the packaging referred to in paragraph 1, in words or other suitable form placed close to the Green Dot trade mark, that the packaging does not participate in the dual system set up by DSD under Section 6(3) of the Ordinance. 3. In the event of disagreement over the recognisability of the notice, the parties shall within one week of either or both sides finding that such disagreement has arisen, ask the Commission to appoint an expert. The expert shall be charged with determining within four weeks whether, having regard to the packaging's basic function, the possible forms of the notice discussed by the parties fulfil the requirements set out in paragraph 2. The expert's costs shall be borne by the parties equally.
