EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (S.R. 2007/98) (the “2007 Regulations”), which implement Article 6(1) of Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (OJ No L 365, 31.12.1994, p 10). The 2007 Regulations, in particular provisions in Schedule 2, were amended by the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 (S.R. 2012/437) (the “2012 Regulations”)
Regulation 3 amends Schedule 2 to the 2007 Regulations. The amendments include new waste packaging recovery and recycling targets for the years 2012 to 2017. The amendments also include a new set of targets for waste glass packaging for recycling by re-melt for the years 2013 to 2017.
Regulation 4 revokes The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012.
These Regulations were notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of the rules on Information Society services (OJ No L 24, 21.7.1998, p37).
A full impact assessment was prepared for the 2012 Regulations; no separate assessment has been carried out for this instrument as no further impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
