Made 30th June 2015
Coming into operation 17th August 2015
The Department of the Environment, being designatedf1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972f2 in relation to measures relating to the prevention, reduction and eliminations of pollution caused by waste and in relation to the environment, makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred upon it by that section and also in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act, makes the following Regulations.
These Regulations make provision for implementing an EU obligation and it appears to the Department that it is expedient for references to the List of Wastes set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2000/532/EC; the European Waste Catalogue; and Annex III (properties of waste which render it hazardous) to Directive 2008/98/EC in the amendments made by regulations 2(2), 3(2), 4(2)(a), 5(2)(a), (3) and (4)(c) to be construed as references to that List, that Catalogue and that Annex as amended from time to time.
