• 75/107/EEC concerning bottles used as measuring containers
• 76/211/EEC relating to the making-up by weight or by volume of certain pre-packaged products
• 2007/45/EC on nominal quantities for pre-packed products

The review seeks to assess the:

• relevance of Directives from individual consumers and companies points of view
