31 Jul 2025 B KG (in der Entscheidung anonymisiert)LVwG Lower Austria: penalty for illegal acceptance of 258 t of waste from Hungary upheld €850
In September 2022, the KG (limited partnership) accepted 257.78 tonnes of wastewater from the glycerine treatment of a Hungarian biodiesel plant which, because of its methanol content (2.2 %), was subject to notification as hazardous waste but was shipped to Austria without notification and consent. The Lower Austria Regional Administrative Court (Landesverwaltungsgericht Niederösterreich, LVwG) upheld the fine of 850 EUR against the partner authorised to represent the company, set aside the second count (collection without a permit) and discontinued the proceedings in that respect (LVwG-S-512/001-2025).
The recipient of cross-border waste must also check before acceptance whether the shipment has been notified and authorised – otherwise management is personally liable.
