For cases where the Danish Environmental Protection Agency is unable to meet the target processing time, the private individual/company/authority will be informed of this and given an indication of the anticipated date for completion of processing. In general, all administrative matters will of course be processed as quickly as possible. This means that a number of matters will be processed sooner than the specified processing time.
