From Netherlands to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.
Netherlands hosts a disproportionate share of European HQ entities for US brands (Amazon EU SCS, large platform operators, Avalara-class compliance firms), plus a thriving local e-commerce ecosystem. Cross-border to France is one of the highest-frequency expansion plays from Dutch e-commerce, and the French EPR layer is the typical operational blocker. Our partnership turns France from a multi-week disruption into a scheduled launch task.
Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.
Questions Netherlands-based firms ask us.
We operate Verpact-equivalent registration for Dutch packaging. Does it transfer to France?
No. The Dutch Verpact (formerly Afvalfonds) covers Dutch packaging EPR specifically. French Citeo (or Léko, Adelphe) covers French. Your clients shipping to France need separate French registration, and the French eco-contribution is computed independently of any Dutch contribution.
Many firms run pan-EU service offerings from the Netherlands. How does our partnership differ from theirs?
The legal structure is the same: any non-French firm needs a France-established partner for French EPR. Operationally, our public entry price (€190/year excl. VAT per stream) with a fixed written quote in one business day, and a written mandate under Article L. 541-10-9-1, are what differentiate us from older opaque French operators. For Dutch partners with international clients, the predictability is the value: the client gets a written number in one business day, without a procurement cycle.
Netherlands hosts a lot of European HQs of US brands (Tesla, Netflix, Booking-like). Do they all need French EPR?
They need it if they place consumer goods on the French market. Netherlands establishment counts as EU establishment for some compliance purposes, but for French EPR specifically the relevant test is "established in France", which a Dutch BV is not. So yes, the same France-established mandataire requirement applies. We become that requirement’s answer.
How is the partnership letter handled across jurisdictions (Dutch BV signing French partnership letter)?
Standard cross-border B2B contracting under EU rules of contract. The letter is governed by French law for our scope (you can choose Dutch or English for governance of separate annexes). Electronic signature accepted (eIDAS), no notary needed. Most partners sign within one business day of receiving the draft.
Pre-filled for a Netherlands firm.
One form, one written reply within a business day. Léo responds personally with the partner terms, partnership letter template and NDA. Partner terms: a referral fee, calculated on the setup fee we collect, for every stream opened for a producer you introduce, including streams added later. The annual fee is never shared. Paid on your invoice once we have collected. Each producer signs its own mandate with us.
