VE-Register: Register für Vollständigkeitserklärungen nach der Verpackungsverordnung

Anyone who puts sales packaging into circulation is obliged to submit an annual declaration of completeness for all sales packaging.

Section 10 of the German Packaging Ordinance (VerpackV) introduced the obligation to submit "declarations of completeness" (VE) for certain companies. This affects companies that place sales packaging on the market and exceed a certain quantity threshold. The declarations of completeness must be digitally signed by a recognized auditor (auditor, expert, tax consultant). The chambers of industry and commerce are tasked with maintaining the register for these declarations of completeness.

The Chambers of Industry and Commerce provide advice on the register entries and the Packaging Ordinance.

There are no fees to pay.

• The declaration of completeness must be submitted every year by May 1 for the previous year.
• Mandatory information includes the type and quantity of sales packaging placed on the market and the dual systems involved.
