  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 (the “PPC Regulations”) in England only.\nRegulation 2(2)(a) amends part B of section 1.2 (Gasification, Liquefaction and Refining Activities) of Schedule 1 to the PPC Regulations by adding motor vehicle refuelling activities to the list of activities that require a permit under the PPC Regulations. This meets a UK obligation arising from the UN Economic Committee for Europe Geneva Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution Concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or their Transboundary Fluxes. This Protocol entered into force on 29 September 1997 following its adoption in November 1991. The Protocol can be seen on the UNECE website at http://www.unece.org.\nRegulation 2(2)(b) amends Section 5.1 (Incineration and Co-incineration of waste) of Schedule 1 to the PPC Regulations by clarifying that incineration incidentally in the course of burning of landfill gas is not subject to permitting under the PPC Regulations.\nRegulation 2(2)(c) corrects a drafting error in Part B of section 7 (SED Activities) of Schedule 1 to the PPC Regulations.\nRegulation 2(3) amends Schedule 3 (Prescribed Date and Transitional Arrangements) to exempt certain operators of coin operated dry cleaning machines who choose not to make an application for a permit before 31st October 2006 from the permit requirements of the Solvent Emissions Directive 1999/13/EC on the basis that they agree to cease carrying out operations that fall within the scope of that Directive at the installation before the 31st October 2007.\nA regulatory impact assessment has been prepared and placed in the library of both Houses of Parliament.
