Commentaries: Art. 9

Manufacturers who supply empty glass beverage containers for use within Switzerland and importers who import such containers must pay in respect of these a disposal fee (the «fee») to an organisation (the «Fee Organisation») appointed by the Federal Office for the Environment (the FOEN)¹.
The obligation to pay a fee also applies to importers who import filled glass beverage containers.
No fee is payable by:
1. manufacturers and importers who supply or import beverage containers with a capacity of less than 0.09 litres;
2. manufacturers and importers who supply or import fewer than 1,000 beverage containers per half calendar year.

The name of this administrative unit was changed in application of Art. 16 para. 3 of the Publications Ordinance of 17 Nov. 2004 (SR 170.512.1 ). This change has been made throughout the text. ↩
