Can an appointed third party (broker, auditor, consultant, chamber of foreign trade) with power of attorney (or similar authority) undertake system participation on behalf of a producer (within Germany or abroad)?
Yes; however they must provide all the declarations that the individual producer is also required to provide. They can only undertake system participation for the producer, using the latter's registration number, so that the system in turn can fulfil its obligations to the specific producer.
The data reporting of the party under obligation in the LUCID Packaging Register remains unaffected by this. The parties under obligation must undertake the reporting themselves and with regards to the approved system that was appointed by the third party. Data reporting related to third parties is prohibited.
