Das Projekt "Umsetzung der EU-Richtlinie 94/62 zu Verpackung und Verpackungsmuell in Griechenland: Probleme und Vorschlaege" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Trier, European Association for Environmental Management Education - Focal Point Trier -, Europäisches Diplom in Umweltwissenschaften durchgeführt. The 94/62 EU Directive should have been transposed to the Greek national legislation since June 1996. A committee formed by the Ministry of Environment and consisting of representatives of most of the interested actors has been working since March 1994 on designing a Draft Law. The public and private actors involved in packaging tend to favour different systems already implemented in other Member States. Hoping to give insight to certain aspects of this problem, the project first focuses on the main objectives and provisions of the Directive through a content analysis. Secondly, the Greek National Setting is examined, as well as the actors and their stakes in Greece. Further, the French and the German system are presented and a SWOT analysis of their framework is performed. The systems is then applied to the Greek reality and a new SWOT analysis is conducted taking into consideration the national situation as described. Finally in light of the conducted study, recommendations and proposals on the key issues that the new Draft Law should address are elaborated.
