The waste trading permit is issued for a definite period to a maximum of 6 years. The Regional Authority may extend the period of validity of the waste trading permit at the request of the waste dealer, always to a maximum of a further 6 years provided the conditions for its issue have been met. If the waste dealer applies for an extension, within the 6 months preceding the expiry of the period for which the permit was issued, the permit shall not expire, as long as no final decision has been made on the application. 

On the basis of this permit you will be allowed to trade in wastes with a positive value on the market.
