In order to monitor that producers meet their financial and organisational obligations in relation to the management of used and waste textile, textile-related and footwear products that they make available on the market for the first time within the territory of a Member State, a register of producers should be established and managed by each Member State and producers should be obliged to register. In order to facilitate that registration, the registration requirements and format should be harmonised across the Union to the greatest extent possible, especially where producers make textile, textile-related or footwear products available on the market for the first time in different Member States. The information in the register should be accessible to those entities that play a role in the verification of the compliance with the extended producer responsibility obligations and their enforcement.
