Metrc LLC

Metrc is a provider of an advanced software and radio-frequency (RFID) tagging identification system used by 23 state regulators in the U.S. and Guam to track and trace regulated cannabis plants and products. Metrc's system helps prevent inversion and diversion, increase product and public safety, and supports tax collection. Our services enable regulators to address complex issues in the design and enforcement of legalisation, including the protection of public health and protecting the regulated market against unsafe and illicit products.

Our aim is to offer our experience working closely with US regulators and authorities, contribute to the EU conversations on regulatory frameworks related to traceability of regulated products and support development of effective regulation in the EU and member states. We will contribute to the dialogue facilitated by the Technology and Trade Council focusing on the Digital Product Passport and the Transatlantic Initiative on Sustainable Trade.

During the reporting period, Metrc, LLC submitted a proposal to host a session during the Trade and Technology dialogue specific to Crafting the Transatlantic Green Marketplace. This session was approved late in the year and more reporting will be included in next years annual update because the event occurred in Washington, DC in later January 2024.

In 2024, and once the renewal application has been approved, our activities may include monitoring, better understanding, engaging on and providing feedback on roadmaps/public consultations related to:

During the reporting period, our representation of interests at the EU level were moderate partially due to limited opportunities to discuss the policy areas we focus on in our outreach.
