(This note is not part of the Regulations)
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.
An Impact Assessment which shows the anticipated cost of compliance to businesses and the environmental benefits in respect of these Regulations may be obtained from the Producer Responsibility Unit, Zone 6D, Ergon House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AL and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.
1995 c. 25. Under section 57 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), despite the transfer to Scottish Ministers of functions in relation to implementing obligations under Community law in respect of devolved matters, the Secretary of State´s function in relation to implementing those obligations continues to be exercisable as regards Scotland. Under paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), despite the transfer of the relevant functions of the Secretary of State so far as they are exercisable in relation to Wales to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of Article 2 and Schedule 1 of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) and section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006, the Secretary of State´s function in relation to implementing obligations under Community law continues to be exercisable as regards Wales.
