EU wants new law against plastic consumption - but Lindner is working on a secret deal. Germany blocked the EU supply chain directive, which caused a lot of anger.

Now the only thing that stands between the new law and its implementation is approval by the Council of Europe and the European Parliament. There is currently still concern that Germany will block the regulation with its veto. The consumer industry had already spoken out and emphasized the importance of the packaging regulation. Several large manufacturers warned that the regulation would fail.
