Article 30 of the decree-law details provisions for the procurement of critical raw materials. Under the regulation, specified materials (including ferrous scrap) that are exported from outside of the European Union are subject to a notification procedure. The Ministries of Economic Development, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation must be notified at least twenty days in advance of the operation. Anyone who fails to observe this procedure shall be subject to an administrative fine equal to 30% of the transaction and not less than 30,000 euros for each individual transaction.
