The Waste Information (Scotland) Regulations 2010

Made

1st December 2010

Coming into force

10th January 2011

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 79(1) and (2) of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”)(1) and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”)(2) and all other powers enabling them to do so.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the reference to Commission Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of wastes(3) to be a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 96(4) of the 2009 Act, a draft of these Regulations has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament.
