5. Draft decree on the obligation to present for sale fresh unprocessed fruit and vegetables without packaging made up entirely or in part of plastic

6. Retail outlets whether or not they specialise in the sale of fruit and vegetables in warehouses, on stalls and markets

7. -

8. The Law on Combating Waste and on the Circular Economy of 10 February 2020 provides that retail outlets displaying unprocessed fresh fruit and vegetables for sale will be required, as from 1 January 2022, to present them for sale without plastic packaging (Article 77 of the Act). The law also specifies that this obligation does not apply to fruit and vegetables packaged in batches of 1.5 kilograms or more and to fruit and vegetables presenting a risk of deterioration when sold in bulk, the list of which is fixed by decree.

The draft decree defines the list of fruit and vegetables presenting a risk of deterioration when sold in bulk that are exempt from this obligation.

9. The regulations define the conditions of application of the provisions introduced by the law combatting waste and on a circular economy of 10 February 2020.

The latter set out the procedures for presenting for sale unprocessed fresh fruit and vegetables to end users. They relate only to the presentation for sale of these products and therefore do not apply to the steps preceding presentation for sale, i.e. production, packaging and transport.

Retail outlets will be obliged to offer, on their stalls, unprocessed fruit and vegetables without plastic packaging, except those which may deteriorate during bulk sales and other than those packed in batches of more than 1.5 kg.

The draft Decree clarifies the definition of certain terms of the Act and sets out an exemption list for fruit and vegetables for which a risk of deterioration when sold in bulk has been identified.
