The bill (Reg. No. 2611a) suggests introduce a fee on manufacturers and importers of packaging and packaged goods for processing solid domestic waste.

The bill does not provide any justification for rate of charge for different types of packaging. Minimum norms of waste recycling are not established.

Another drawback of the bill lies in the absence of the procedure of proper use and control over the received tax revenues.
