The National Department of Mineral Production (DNPM), linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, published yesterday the decree No 358/09, amending the rule which restricts the movement of gallons of mineral water.
The document modifies the Ordinance No. 387/08, which provided for the withdrawal of all gallons of water over three years of use and provides a timetable for the replacement of the containers from the packaging date of manufacture with less 2004.
According to the ordinance, prohibiting the filling or repackages drinking mineral water on table-returnable packaging plastic bottle of 10 and 20 liters, meets schedule, which provides for the gradual replacement of containers in the respective terms of year of manufacture.
Thus, the packages with date of manufacture than in 2004 need to be replaced by November 30 this year, the bottles of 2005 should be out of circulation on January 30, 2010, 2006 April 30, and those manufactured by 30 January 2007 in June next year.
The schedule includes the replacement of about 14 million bottles, according to estimates DNPM, would be circulated with a shelf life expired. DNPM believes that the schedule may prevent a collapse in the supply of mineral water market.
Responsibility
The main doubt about the replacement of gallons revolved around the responsibility for the exchange of containers losers. There have been cases where distributors complained of determinations of bottling companies, who would not accept to receive containers with due dates.
"We have tried to solve the problem in partnership with some sources, that three months have done, automatically, a gradual change," says André Luiz Abrão, owner of a distributor of water in the central region of Curitiba.
The Procon-PR believes that the return of the bottles with the date of manufacturing party is a requirement of the bottler and distributor and should be done at affordable costs to the consumer.
However, the DNPM believes that, initially, the responsibility for the use of the product is who owns it. However, the DNPM reports that a court decision in response to a request from prosecutors, should define the responsibility for inadequate gallons.
