Nominal quantities for prepacked products

On 10 May 2007, the European Parliament adopted a compromise package which had been agreed with the Council in view of reaching a second reading agreement.

The Commission accepts all amendments. They concern a recital on more voluntary use of unit pricing, a recital and an article on the monitoring of the phasing out of national sizes and a recital explaining the situation of British bread under the new directive.

The conclusion of the compromise package has been facilitated by a declaration which the Commission made on the disposal of stocks of wines and spirit drinks.
