  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/871) (the “2007 Regulations”), which implement Article 6(1) of the European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (OJ No L 365, 31.12.1994, p 10). The 2007 Regulations, in particular provisions in Schedule 2 to those Regulations, were amended by the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/3082) (the “2012 Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 amends paragraph 3(4) of Schedule 2 to the 2007 Regulations (as inserted by the 2012 Regulations) by substituting an amended formula for the calculation of the amount of glass packaging waste that a producer must recycle by re-melt. The amended formula ensures that the glass re-melt target is applied to a producer’s glass recycling obligation.\nThese Regulations were notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services (OJ No L 24, 21.7.1998, p 37).\nA full impact assessment was prepared for the 2012 Regulations; no separate assessment has been carried out for this instrument as no further impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.",
