art_56__para_6

6. By 14 August 2031, the Commission shall conduct an assessment to evaluate, based on the declarations made under Article 10, whether manufacturers are on track to comply with the recycled plastic targets laid down in Article 6(1). The assessment shall particularly evaluate: the availability of suitable plastic recycling technologies; the sufficient availability of recycled plastic; the level of quality of recycled plastic comparing to the level of safety required; and technical and economic difficulties to reach the recycled plastic targets. On the basis of that assessment, the Commission may, where appropriate, submit a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend the targets laid down in Article 6(1) in order to provide for derogations from the scope, timing or level of minimum percentages set out therein.
