Although there are Community objectives as regards recycling of waste paper imposed by Council Directive 99/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste [13], there is no obligation under EU law for the paper mills to collect or recycle the paper that they have sold.
Selv om Rådets direktiv 1999/31/EF af 26. april 1999 om deponering af affald [13] fastsætter fællesskabsmål for genanvendelse af affaldspapir, er der ifølge fællesskabsretten ingen forpligtelse for papirfabrikker til at indsamle eller genindvinde det papir, de har solgt.
