"We are dismayed by the apparent attempts of the Norwegian shredder industry to impose constraints on the export of old vehicles to other countries of the European Union."
"Our recycling facilities are fully authorized and monitored by the UK's environmental protection agencies and our environmental performance has been approved by the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT)."
