Associated type and where clause errors

When compiling the following:

trait Collection: IntoIterator
    where for<'a> &'a Self: IntoIterator<Item=&'a <Self as IntoIterator>::Item>,
          for<'a> &'a mut Self: IntoIterator<Item=&'a mut <Self as IntoIterator>::Item>,
{
    fn iter(&self) -> <&Self as IntoIterator>::IntoIter {
        self.into_iter()
    }
}

impl<T> Collection for Vec<T> { }

fn test<C: Collection<Item=u8>>(c: &C) {
    let iter: <&C as IntoIterator>::IntoIter = c.iter();
}

fn main() {
    test(&vec![1, 2, 3]);
}

I'm getting the following errors:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
