The European Court of Justice repealed a decision from 2021 that stated that you should pay a German deposit on cans bought at the border stores. The decision was won in 2021 by Dansk Erhverv and Danmarks Naturfredningsforening (Nature Conservation Society).
- Why is Dansk Erhverv (the association of businesses in Denmark) involved? The Danish stores are losing money every time people go across the border to buy.
- Why is the Danish Nature Conservation Society involved? Thousands of cans from Germany end up thrown into nature because there is no “pant” or deposit on them.
