Since people have been asking what to do, there're several petitions, one of the larger ones (with currently 85k+ signatures) is here: https://www.change.org/p/stop-destroying-eu-micro-businesses-immediate-moratorium-on-cross-border-epr-fees (Please note that this is a non-binding outside petition useful to register & demonstrate public opposition, but it does not have any direct political weight as an official petition done via the EU portal... Still please sign if you can 🙏) I still think directly contacting MEPs in your country will likely be more impactful at this stage... #PPWR #Petititon

There also was a public feedback period in Aug/Sep and you can read thousands of sad stories about people's livelihood being damaged by this regulation here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/15352-Packaging-and-packaging-waste-rules-on-national-registers-of-producers/feedback_en?p_id=25704 #EU #PPWR #Feedback

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng change.org petitions seem laughable & a waste of time. I hate them. Writing representatives that are either already against this shit or ignoring mails as they do not care or get too many also feels like a waste of time. Only thing is to really check for who you vote & there are campaigns that want to lengthen legislatures "so they are able to get shit done & not need campaigning all the time". No it's so they can sit comfortable longer in their nice position & get more money afterwards.
