Response from the competent authority: "Answer from the Ministry of the Environment\
  \ and Spatial Planning:Persons who place 15 t or more of packaging on the market\
  \ annually are also obliged to pay the costs of packaging waste management - in\
  \ accordance with the principle of extended producer responsibility. In addition,\
  \ persons who place less packaging on the market annually must also pay packaging\
  \ waste management costs if the packaging is for dangerous goods or plastic carrier\
  \ bags.\r\nDue to complaints that the situation in the field of packaging waste\
  \ management, in particular the irregular collection of packaging waste from public\
  \ service operators, is mainly due to the fact that not all persons who place packaging\
  \ on the market are also the payers of packaging waste management costs, and that\
  \ there is no information at all on who places packaging on the market and how much\
  \ of this packaging is placed on the market, the Regulation was amended in 2017\
  \ to introduce a register of all persons who place packaging on the market. The\
  \ deadline for registration in this register expired on 31 January 2018. However,\
  \ persons who started their packaging-related economic activity after that date\
  \ have 30 days to register. On the basis of their own records on packaging placed\
  \ on the market, this year for the first time all persons had to report data on\
  \ packaging placed on the market (for 2018). This obligation therefore applied for\
  \ the first time this year only to those operators who place less than 5 t of packaging\
  \ on the market per year.\r\nThe data from the records on packaging placed on the\
  \ market are mainly intended to provide the technical basis for a possible reduction\
  \ or abolition of the quantitative threshold for the obligation to pay packaging\
  \ waste management costs. If this quantitative threshold is abolished, the obligation\
  \ to report the placing on the market of packaging to the competent authority may\
  \ also be abolished."
