The processing time of notifications at The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is considerably longer than usual at the moment. This is due to transitions related to relocation of The Agency. Furthermore the Agency receives an extraordinary amount of notifications at the moment. We currently expect to start the processing within about 12-15 working weeks after the receipt of the notification. The Agency is working on a number of actions to remedy the situation as soon as possible and regrets the inconvenience the longer processing time may cause. The aim is that the processing time will be at the usual stage at the end of the year 2018.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has carried out an extraordinary effort to reduce the processing time. In addition to recruiting we have allocated more in- and external resources to the field of import and export of waste. Due to the complexity in the field, The Agency expects that it will be some time before the results will take fully effect.
As notifier you can help us to speed up the processing by making sure that the notifications are properly carried out when they are sent to us.
If a notification is almost identical to a previous notification, please state so, when the notification is sent to us.
