In the letter dated 12.09.2020 sent to our Chamber by The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) and presented in the Annex;

it is stated that the General Directorate of Environmental Impact Assessment, Permits and Inspection of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation has repealed Circular No. 2019/18, which regulated Waste Import Practices and was published and entered into force on 31.12.2019 within the framework of the “Communiqué on the Import Inspection of Wastes Kept Under Control for Environmental Protection (Product Safety and Inspection 2020/3)”, and that Waste Import Circular dated 03.09.2020 and numbered 2020/22 has entered into force.

The said letter states that, with the new Circular No. 2020/22, the waste import quota has been reduced by 30% to 50%, and announces that, as of its date of entry into force and until the end of 2020, waste imports will be permitted at a rate of up to 50% of the facility consumption capacity specified in the companies' Capacity Report.
