Once the producer responsibility has been transferred to the producer organisation, the producer only has to tell its customers that it has taken care of its producer obligations in a responsible manner and provide the producer organisation with information regarding the amounts of products placed on the market in accordance with an agreed upon schedule. The producer must also make sure that the batteries and accumulators placed on the market feature the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristokierratys.fi\/en\/what-is-producer-responsibility\/labelling\/\">required labelling<\/a> and come with instructions for detaching them.[\/vc_column_text]    <\/div>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"clearfix qode-title-holder\">\n<span class=\"qode-tab-title\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"qode-tab-title-icon\">\n\t\t\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"qode_icon_font_elegant icon_comment_alt \" ><\/span>\t\t<\/span>\n\t    <span class=\"qode-tab-title-inner\">\n        What fees does transferring the producer responsibility to a producer organisation entail?    <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"qode-accordion-mark\">\n    <span class=\"qode-accordion-mark-icon\">\n        <span class=\"icon_plus\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n    <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n<div class=\"qode-accordion-content qode-acc-title-with-icon\" style=\"background-image: url(); padding: 0px 73px 35px 60px\">\n    <div class=\"qode-accordion-content-inner\">\n        [vc_column_text]Upon registration, every producer is charged a one-off registration fee, in addition to which they must pay recycling fees determined by the amounts of products they place on the market.
