Yes for this there isn't, strange enough. I don't know why either. I read that part of the issue is that the EU still considers part of the waste policy a national sovereignty. But I don't know enough about that to verify that.

Absolutely nothing I can read about this regulation, apart from angry internet comments, leads me to the conclusion that someone would have to register in every EU country; additionally, that's not how any other EU regulation works.

For example I don't have to register in every EU country if I make a social media site in one EU country. I only have to register it in my country and that agency may or may not forward the information to others. The law doesn't have to say this - it's implied.

		My friend, this is how lots and lots of EU regulations work. See GDOR, the AI act and probably a bunch of others. This is the kind of stuff that's in Draghis report, and it's economically equivalent to tariffs.

This happens in lots of cases, the AI act is another example.

It's literally in the top ten stupidest things that the EU has done, and the EU has done a lot of stupid things.

Note that I am an EU citizen who's committed to the EU in general, but stuff like this is just dumb.
