Nell’interpretazione della nozione di “borse di plastica in materiale ultraleggero” bisogna dare prevalenza al piano teleologico

The definition of “ultra-lightweight plastic bags” referred to in Article 218(1), letter dd-quinquies of the Legislative Decree 152/2006 makes no specification as to the shape the bags must have, nor as to whether or not they must be fitted with handles, giving precedence to the teleological approach, given that they are identified in light of their specific intended use (for hygiene purposes or supplied as primary packaging for loose foodstuffs), as well as their relative thickness. In the absence of any express regulatory specification, both bags with handles and those without must consequently be included within this category – with the consequent applicability of Article 226-ter of the Legislative Decree 152/2006 – provided they are used for hygiene purposes or supplied as primary packaging for loose foodstuffs.

L’ingente quantitativo di borse di plastica non conformi alle prescrizioni del TUA, rinvenute presso l’azienda, giustifica il convincimento che esse fossero destinate appunto alla commercializzazione e, nello specifico, alla distribuzione, in spregio al divieto di legge.
