primární pramen – SI 2024/1332 reg. 4(1), 15(1), 18(1)(a), 24(1)–(2)
SPOJENÉ KRÁLOVSTVÍ (mimo EU – PPWR ani český zákon o obalech tam neplatí): Britská rozšířená odpovědnost za obaly (pEPR) podle The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/1332) dopadá JEN na osobu „established in the United Kingdom“ (reg. 15(1)(a)). Usazená v UK je osoba, která má v UK obvyklé bydliště, sídlo (registered office; není-li, head office nebo principal place of business), NEBO pobočku či POŠTOVNÍ ADRESU v UK (reg. 4(1)) – tedy i firma, která má v UK jen adresu pro vracení zboží. Firma bez jakékoli takové vazby na UK není podle těchto předpisů producentem: u dováženého obalu je „importer“ osoba odpovědná za dovoz, a není-li usazena v UK, pak PRVNÍ V UK USAZENÁ OSOBA, která obal nabude do vlastnictví (reg. 18(1)(a)). Vlastní britské povinnosti (registrace, hlášení dat, poplatky) navíc vznikají až od prahů: „small producer“ obrat > 1 000 000 £ a > 25 t obalů ročně, „large producer“ obrat > 2 000 000 £ a > 50 t (reg. 24(1)–(2)); pod 25 t žádná povinnost.
