Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
Without the permit, the plant cannot bring scrap metal in or send it out, and Customs will not process such operations. A new integrated permit requires an inspection at the plant, which the Agency plans to finish by the end of this week. According to the Agency, the procedure takes at least three to four months.
