The general charges for handling the containers were € 214 per 20-foot container and € 328 per 40-foot container, with a reduction of € 64 and € 115 respectively. This agreement ensures the continuation of exports and imports of recyclable materials, bentonite and other cheap materials, which due to their sensitive value were significantly affected.
