The raw materials industry, from coal to potash and salt production through to industrial minerals and the quarrying sector, is faced with ever new challenges in the form of both national and European regulations. New laws and ordinances require continual adaptation of production operation, management and business planning.

The raw materials industry as well as the downstream processing industries thus face new requirements in many fields of law, such as immission control, mining legislation, waste legislation, nature conservation legislation, water legislation etc. These have an effect on both licensing procedures and daily operations. The requirements also always have an impact on the business management of companies, e.g. in the form of capital expenditure costs incurred for replacement machinery in the area of exhaust air filter technology, treatment technology, dewatering technology etc. or in the form of provisions in the area of waste legislation and, not least, in the form of costs incurred as a result of implementing nature conservation compensatory measures.
