EPR fees are determined by decree of the Energy Minister.
The fees will remain unchanged from next year, according to the decision of Energy Minister Csaba Lantos, the statement said.
In the EPR system, producers of environmentally polluting products pay the costs associated with the transport, treatment, disposal and recovery of their waste.
Mohu, a unit of Hungarian oil and gas company MOL that has a nationwide municipal waste management concession, uses the EPR fees for ensuring the collection, transport, pre-treatment, trade and handover of waste for treatment, as well as the maintenance and operation of relevant waste management facilities, performs activities related to financial coordination and accounting, fulfils information and data provision obligations, and operates an audited self-monitoring system, the report notes.
