What the check requires

If you entrust a Producer Responsibility Organisation, record its contract or certificate reference. A PRO is optional under the Regulation unless the Member State makes collective fulfilment mandatory.

A warning — it does not block deterministic validation, but it remains recorded for review.

Why this is reported

This appears when the submitted text does not match the format required by the versioned rule. The deterministic PPWR validator reports it as rule ppwr.epr.pro-participation. The requirement and citation come from versioned profile 1.0.3; Clearlane does not replace them with an AI-generated verdict.

How it gets fixed

Correct or re-export the source value in the exact format stated in the rule message. Run validation again. Clearlane never fills a compliance value by guessing.
