Austria
EDM is the current official registration and reporting infrastructure. Austria is adapting this infrastructure for the PPWR Article 44 producer register.
Verified Regulatory Sources
Find the EU law, national authority, producer register, official filing route and operational EPR system for every EU Member State. Every country entry tells you what the link actually is — and what it is not.
PPWR requires national producer registers. The producer compliance relationship is country-based. Some Member States already operate a public packaging producer register or equivalent registration system; others are still adapting their national infrastructure to PPWR Article 44.
Read links correctly
EUR-Lex or the country's official legislation database tells us what the legal rule actually says.
This is where we verify the competent body, registration process, public record or filing system.
Authority guidance explains how the rule is operated in practice and often resolves transitional questions.
A PRO or compliance system can provide contracts, tariffs and reporting tools. It is not automatically the regulator.

PPWR is Regulation (EU) 2025/40. These are the core European Commission and EUR-Lex sources we use as the common legal baseline.

No. PPWR establishes national producer registers. Producers register in the Member States where the applicable producer obligation exists.
No. Member States are at different implementation stages. Some already operate packaging producer registers or equivalent registration systems. Others are still building or adapting the Article 44 register.
Not automatically. A PRO can be authorised or licensed to perform producer-responsibility functions but remains distinct from the competent ministry, authority or public register. This directory labels operational systems separately.
Start with binding EU or national law and the competent public authority or producer register. Use PRO and scheme websites for operational contracts, tariffs and reporting procedures.
Follow the current national EPR route published by the competent authority. Do not invent or buy a supposed PPWR registration number that the authority itself does not currently issue.
Use the country source to verify the requirement, then convert it into registration, EPR-system, representation, reporting, payment and evidence actions.
