The Committee of Permanent
Representatives of EU countries on Friday unanimously approved a
draft law aimed at limiting single-use plastic bag usage.
The law is expected to receive final approval in the
parliament plenary session to be held in Strasbourg next week.
It would give member States wide latitude in deciding how
to reduce plastic-bag usage in their countries, through measures
such as charging for bags, national reduction targets, or
outright bans.
