Cross-border sale of farm and regional products

Advised entity: EGTC Linieland van Waas en Hulst

A cooperative of agro-entrepreneurs from the Netherlands and Flanders offers agricultural products directly from Grenspark Groot Saeftinghe to customers on both sides of the border. The cooperative's registered office is in the Netherlands, but in the future, it wants to transport and sell its products across borders using a mobile container. Uncertainties persist on which laws and regulations should be applied to enterprises selling across borders and how to handle them.

Solving such a problem will make it easier for agro-entrepreneurs in the border region to transport their products across the border using a mobile container, exposing them to a larger market.

Obstacles for Border transport of recyclable plastic waste between Germany and the Netherlands

Advised entity: EGTC Euregio Meuse-Rhine

​

In spite of environmental objectives on the EU level to reduce plastic waste and virgin plastic, there are many contradicting procedures and regulations between Germany and the Netherlands when it comes to recycling and transporting plastic feedstock. This hinders effective cross-border collaboration to jointly address plastic waste. Solving these legal and administrative obstacles would allow the creation of a network of “Smart Specialized Plastic Recycling Hubs” that would increase cross-border synergies in the plastic recycling value chain.
