[null,"The European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste to prevent or reduce the impact of packaging and packaging waste on the environment. This Directive was amended to require Member States to take measures to reduce the consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags on their territory. These measures are to ensure that a certain number of lightweight plastic carrier bags per person per year, or an equivalent target set in weight is not exceeded.\n\nIt is necessary to use a harmonised reporting system and a harmonised methodology to calculate the consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags, to monitor that consumption at Union level, and to assess whether a sustained reduction of consumption of these bags has been achieved.\n\nMember States may report the national consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags by either number or weight, using one of four reporting tables provided in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/896. The approaches Member States use to measure consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags are intrinsically linked to the measures they have in place with the objective of reducing consumption. Therefore, a Member State’s choice of reporting table will depend upon the range of reduction measures and measuring approaches it has implemented. \n\nThe guidance for the compilation of the data to report annual consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags is available on Eurostat website:\n"]

[null,null,"Both options were introduced in article 5 of \"Loi du 21 mars 2017 relative aux emballages et aux déchets d'emballages\", with the difference that in the national legislation, lightweight plastic bags but also plastic bags >50 microns are not provided for free (only the very lightweight are excluded ), instead of only the lightweight ones as stated in Directive 94/62/EC."]
[null,"7. If you have implemented a charge at the point of sale under option b), please provide any information you have that demonstrates the effectiveness of the  charge in reducing the annual consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags."]
[null,null,"As the measure of charging plastic bags entered into force on the 31st of December 2018, it is not yet possible in this 2018-report to communicate data on effective reduction of the lightweight plastic carrier bags. However, the already transmitted informations of Valorlux for the year 2019 indicate a reduction of 38,3% of lightweight plastic carrier bags put on the market by their members in comparison with 2018, substituted by bags made out of other materials (mainly paper-board and reusable ones, including the national Ecosac (see third reference in quality report), which was recognized as an European best practice).

[null,null,"The Ecosac (mentioned in question 7) is a national measure voluntarily implemented since 2004 by most of the shops, markets and supermarkets, under a steering committee of distributors, lead by Valorlux, the CLC (Confédération Luxembourgeoise du Commerce) and the Administration of the Environment. All participating shops sell the Ecosac and do not sell any other reusable bags (with their own brand…). Although this measure is not mandatory, its frame is set in an environmental agreement and quantitative goals of replacement of single-use bags by the Ecosac have been set, the latest of it being 60% of the total amount of bags sold. Studies have been conducted on a regular basis to follow the achievement of this goal, the latest of these having been conducted in 2019. This study, mainly based on representative consumer surveys and on the Ecosac orders made by participant distributors show that over 73% of the bags used during shopping in Luxembourg are reusable ones (half of these reusables being the Ecosac). A real turning point in the use of the Ecosac was when the “sac de dépannage”, a simultaneously sold lightweight single-use bag, was no longer given for free (2007).\nThis study can be provided to the Commission or Eurostat if wanted.\n"]

["In 2018 Valorlux counts 465 members from wholesale trade and retail trade except automobiles and motorcycles. It can be considered that, due to its representativeness rate, the data collected by Valorlux covers 92.6% of the total number of lightweight and very lightweight plastic bags. All the members of Valorlux have to report annually on their consumption of plastic bags. This number has been upscaled to 100%. Despite of the representativeness of Valorlux, there is an issue on free-riding, as all the producers should provide this information, but those which are not member of Valorlux do not do it and are not known by the Administration. There is a discussion to address this issue in the frame of the transposition of the directive 2018/852 on packagings and packaging waste. A campaign of inspections was also executed during 2019, during which information was provided to non-compliant, but no fines. During a second campaign made by the non-compliant ones, fines were given but almost every shop was then compliant; only 1 administrative fine had to be delivered."]
