- New EU regulations (PPWR and BBWR) require producers to appoint an authorized representative (AR) in each country where they have obligations.
- “Foreign” producers include those outside the national territory of any specific EU country, not just outside the EU.
- Producers must appoint a separate AR for each country; there is no unified EU-wide AR solution.
- This increases the compliance burden for foreign producers.
- EU-based manufacturers can appoint a single AR for the entire EU.
