7. -

8. These drafts determine:
- the instructions for manufacturing prepackages according to the defined criteria in order to ensure the quantity of the product supplied;
- the inscription and marking requirements in order to inform the consumer of the quantity supplied and to identify the operators by the inspection services.

They specify the necessary self-inspections required by businesses and their employees to ensure the quantity of the product contained in the prepackaging and they develop inspection methodologies for the competent inspection services, allowing for all fraudulent practices to be detected, quantified and qualified. Compliance with the criteria for manufacturing prepackages can be checked at all stages of marketing (importation, production, distribution, etc.). Finally, they provide for the possibility for non-compliant products to be brought into compliance.

9. The draft texts transpose the provisions of Council Directive 76/211/EEC of 20 January 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by weight or by volume of certain prepackaged products. Presentation in the form of prepackaging is one of the main methods of marketing products and the prepackaging market is of major importance on account of its position in various lines of business and at various stages. The requirements and provisions in these draft texts are therefore an essential tool for protecting consumers financially and allowing for fair competition between economic operators by also proposing self-inspection procedures for them to adopt.

In addition, these drafts provide useful specifications on the self-inspections to be carried out by operators that are easier to monitor. They take into account the technical improvements to measuring instruments available to operators and new practices.
