On the 12th, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie were in Brussels to witness the signing of a Benelux directive that encourages the ongoing cooperative economic relationship among the three Benelux countries. The directive will be in application until 2020 and is intended to further a circular economy that enables the efficient re-circulation and re-use of goods and services. Goods include such items as mobile phones and coffee machines, which might otherwise be discarded with negative effect to the environmental, while the re-circulation of services will include the cooperative efforts of waste management programs.
Camille Gira, Luxembourg's Secretary of State for Sustainable Development, also attended the signing.
