@theniconomist: Parliament voted to pause the EU packaging law yesterday. Nothing is paused. This is my fifth video on this law. Meanwhile shops are deciding for themselves. Some switched off EU shipping. Some closed. Some kept selling and never paid. If you sell across the EU, what did you do? This is general information, not legal advice. Every business is different, so check what the law means for yours.

Marians Wife :

I swear I don’t even understand how to register / get a representative to ship to a country. Can’t find smth official. Since August I had to take my shop offline bc I gen don’t understand what the hell to do 🫩 and I’m scared of being fined

PETLOVEDE - Karena Design :

registration will be still the same and also 60-300€ per country ,so it's not helping small shops! they call businesses with 10 Mio sales volume "small businesses"! That's a joke!!! I am a small business! same as thousands other handmade businesses! We are small!!! and we CAN'T pay for a representative and we can't pay registration fees for every country. They only talked about the representative ls, so even if they vote to pause that, the other huge problem will still remain the same. Just because they don't talk about real small businesses!

NiceMe :

for VAT is OSS. for packaging just chaoss. the same EU

Jackster :

unified platform where you can pay flat fee per year to be automatically represented in every eu country would fix it, but no, create a problem first, think of solution after

Potato Mato :

SMEs don't need a special lobby; they're part of the entire free-market mechanism, you are supposed to represent them. What we need is to elect candidates who have a basic level of competence.
