8. § 1
§ 1 (3) is deleted. This is in order to ensure that beverage containers and cups for beverages are not exempted from rules in Chapters 2 and 3.
§ 35.
§ 35(1) is clarified in order to clarify that the payment obligation of producers in connection with the take-over of waste from municipalities applies to both collection and transport to a place designated by the producer, in cases where § 45 applies.
§ 77.
A new § 77 shall be inserted. This would mean that collective schemes that have been obliged to take over waste by emergency allocation in the event of the termination of another collective scheme could request payment for actual documented costs via the deposit of the terminated collective scheme. This ensures that the responsible producers pay for the waste treatment.
