Quick answer
Yes. § 6(5) VerpackDG: ZSVR can revoke a registration when the conditions for it no longer exist. Without a valid registration you may not make packaging available in Germany (§ 13(1)), and fulfilment providers and platforms may not handle it (§ 13(4)). Keep your registration data current and, without a German establishment, keep a confirmed representative named in LUCID. Sources (2)
