(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Waste Management Licensing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (as amended).

They provide for exemptions for permitting for the reuse, disposal, storage and recovery of types of waste referred to in the European Waste Catalogue together with exemptions from the permitting requirements of the Waste Framework Directive (75/442/EEC) and Hazardous Waste Directive (91/689/EC).

These Regulations transpose the requirements of Articles 4 and 11 of the Waste Framework Directive and Article 3 (1) and (2) of the Hazardous Waste Directive.
