# The Control of Pollution (Special Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply to England, Wales and Scotland, amend the Transfrontier Shipment of Hazardous Waste Regulations 1988 (“the 1988 Regulations”) and the Control of Pollution (Special Waste) Regulations 1980 (“the 1980 Regulations”).
Regulation 30 of the 1988 Regulations, which is revoked, amended the 1980 Regulations in a way that left it uncertain whether the 1980 Regulations applied to imported or exported special waste (within the meaning of the 1980 Regulations) that is not hazardous waste (within the meaning of the 1988 Regulations).
These Regulations amend the 1980 Regulations so that the latter continue to apply to special waste that is not hazardous waste.
