Keyword Standards Recycling/reuse Waste prevention Environmental standards Waste domestic sources Waste disposal Abstract Fost Plus VZW is a Belgian company, responsible for recovery and recycling of household packaging waste. The European Commission confirmed a measure, notified by the Belgium government, which allowed higher recycling and recovery rates than provided by directive 94/62/EC. Fost Plus VZW claims to be individually concerned by this measure and that the confirmation was contravening European law. The Tribunal judged that the company is not individually concerned in the sense of article 230 EC and thus does not arrive at the substantive points of the case. Full text Fost Plus v.
