, have expressed "serious concern" about the revision of the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the

European Community
 (EU) Waste Shipment Regulations, for which the European Council European Council, a consultative branch of the governing body of the European Union (EU). It is composed of the heads of government of the EU nations and their foreign ministers, in conjunction with the president and two additional members from the European  has recently been determining its position.

The recycling trade groups note that early in the legislative process, the Commission had added a "notifier hierarchy" that would seriously restrict licensed collectors, registered dealers, brokers and traders from carrying out their business. Currently these businesses are licensed, registered or permitted by their national authorities.

The Commission never publicly justified this "notifier hierarchy," the groups contend. This "notifier hierarchy" restriction slipped through the EU Parliament's first reading and is now submitted to the Council. This legal text could damage currently well-functioning markets by removing some specialist operators.

As an example of the benefit of specialists, the BIR cites the role of the dealer/trader/broker network in the management of metal-containing drosses, ashes and residues.

For the entire range of recycling materials no dealer, trader or broker would be allowed to arrange export to industrializing countries that require notifications, and no dealer, trader or broker in those materials would be allowed to arrange export to Latvia, Hungary Malta Poland and Slovakia, which require notification through new EU Accession Coming into possession of a right or office; increase; augmentation; addition.

The right to all that one's own property produces, whether that property be movable or immovable; and the right to that which is united to it by accession, either naturally or artificially.
 Treaty arrangements. "This will damage business and, unintended, will encourage industrializing countries wanting these materials, yet requiring notification, to drop their controls," the BIR says in a news release.
