These Regulations amend the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 2007 (the “2007 Regulations”). The 2007 Regulations impose on producers the obligation to recover and recycle packaging waste, and related obligations, in order to attain the recovery and recycling targets set out in Article 6(1) of Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (OJ No. L 365, 31.12.1994, p10, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1882/2003 (OJ No. L 284, 31.10.2003, p1), Council Directive 2004/12/EC (OJ No. L 47, 18.2.2004, p26) and Council Directive 2005/20/EC (OJ No. L 70, 16.3.2005, p17)). These Regulations change the recovery and recycling targets for 2008, 2009 and 2010 imposed on producers by the 2007 Regulations.
