EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (the “2007 Regulations”). These Regulations correct an error in the 2007 Regulations in respect of the definition of the Waste Directive. 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, p.10, as amended by Council Regulations (EC) No. 1882/2003 (OJ No. L 284, 31.10.2003, p.1), Council Directive 2004/12/EC (OJ No. L 47, 18.2.2004, p.26) and Council Directive 2005/20/EC (OJ No. L 70, 16.3.2005, p.17)). These Regulations increase the recovery and recycling targets imposed on producers by the 2007 Regulations.
