European Union is divided by plastic knife

SEM Plastik general manager and Pagev President Yavuz Eroglu, France about the restriction brought to the sale of use-at plastic products, "the loss of Turkish plastics can find 30 million dollars per year," he said.

In France, after January 1, 2020,the government passed the communiqué No. 2015-992 restricting the sale of disposable plastic cups, plates, cutlery, knives. With this communiqué, only use-at type products produced from biodegradable plastics or derived from compostable types of biopsies can be sold in France.

Eroglu, France in the production of products in question is not a strong country in this issue in the European Union (EU) in Germany, Italy and Spain is more effective in the case, he said.

In particular, Spain is the pioneer in the production of products in the EU, indicating that Eroglu, France itself is not strong in an industry ban, domestic market according to their own communiqué to make production and failed to rearrange the competition area pointed to.

Eroglu, France in 2020 with this communiqué to other countries within the EU in the French Market by blocking the sale of goods will cause unfair competition voiced.

Stating that the negative impact of this notification on the economy will be great and Turkish companies exporting to France will be affected by the business Eroglu said: "Turkey is a very important producer in this product group where France is exporting foreign trade deficit and mainly imports. With this communiqué, 500 million dollars of plastic products imported to France, creating unfair competition, the loss of Turkish exporters may reach 30 million dollars per year. We believe that the EU in which we are in agreement with the customs union should be provided within itself. As Turkey, we are harmonizing our laws with the EU's people in the process of entering the EU. However, in accordance with EU norms, we can not export our plastic products to France after 2020 as a strange situation arises."he used his words.

"Europe will lose its position as a partner market rapidly"

Yavuz Eroglu, this notification of the UK after the EU exit referendum in the Union revealed a big crack in the state of highlighting, France thus broke the EU's common single market rule, he said.

Eroğlu stated that there is no such application in EU countries other than France, that these products are produced and sold in other EU countries, and that therefore, a plastic product produced in Germany will be introduced in 2020, will not be sold to France, and that Europe will lose its speed to become a union and a common market.

The European Food Security Agency, as well as the EU's own scientific authorities have not been able to return France from this political decision stating that Eroglu, continued::

"It is scientifically necessary to measure the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life. Research shows that products made from bioplastics are not prohibited when compared to paper, ceramics and glass. We believe that the communiqué is prepared very quickly and contradictions. For example, plates go into this notification, but bowls go in? This communiqué covers plastic plates and glasses only when they are used one time. However, plastic products manufacturers do not make any products to be used only once or twice. It is not possible to produce a standard produced by political communiqués without any scientific knowledge in France."

Eroglu, stated in the communiqué thickness of the production of bio material can not be done by specifying, the current state of bioplastics is not resistant to Hot use and 25 degree deterioration of the fabric of a product that is predicted to melt in hot tea expressed.

It is important that these products be used in hospitals for health and hygiene, in prisons to prevent prisoners from hurting themselves and other prisoners, in aircraft to prevent them from becoming a dangerous weapon such as fuel saving and glass.

Eroglu, a few hundred years ago, the plague, such as the red, flower, cholera epidemic diseases and the famine and drought accompanying them have caused the deaths of millions of people throughout history, recalling today, part of the collective life of the ‘one-use’ products that are one of the most important tools in the Prevention of the spread of infectious diseases, he said.

Using this communiqué issued by France at the disposal of products will cause environmental pollution by increasing Eroğlu stating that ignoring, "the composting in the communiqué does not mean that the product will disappear when you throw it into nature. However, these bioplastic products are composting in special heat, humidity and environment. Of course, large masses of people will cause more products to be thrown into nature than they know it. In fact, the most environmental and economic solution is to collect and recycle plastic products separately at the source."he used his words.

"This notification was issued by the French election"

Yavuz Eroğlu, Pagev as well as member of the Executive Board of the European Union Plastic Manufacturers Association (eupc) as the European Commission in 2020 to apply for the application of this communiqué and said that they will continue negotiations with the necessary articles.

Pointing out that the EU Commission in Brussels will hold talks on this issue, Eroglu said he hoped that the EU would show the necessary stance on the basis of scientific facts rather than the political interests of its own future and people.

Eroglu said that the lack of leadership in EU institutions is paralyzing decision making processes.

Eroglu, as Turkey within the framework of the Istanbul plastic summit declaration, as a member of the EU, they have a say in the plastics industry and will not let the communiqué affect the sector emphasized.

Stating that they conveyed the issue to EU Commission Environment General Manager Karmenu Vella and EU Commission Trade General Manager Jean-Luc Demarty, Eroğlu said that they would gather all EU plastic associations urgently within the framework of the Istanbul plastic Summit Declaration.

Eroglu, this notification was taken into consideration by the election in France with a populist approach and the voters in a misleading manner, stating, “Mr. Minister Segolene first against the ban, then before the end of the mandate to increase the personal popularity of U returned. At this turn, we consider France's current internal turmoil and the extreme right-wing candidate, Marie Le Pen, as Mr. Segolene's attempt to stand out., "he said.
