The National Assembly for Wales, in exercise of the powers conferred upon the Secretary of State by sections 33(3) and 74(6)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990(2) and now exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales(3), and having had regard in particular, in exercising its powers under section 33(3) of that Act, to the matters specified in section 33(4) of that Act, hereby makes the following Regulations:

Section 74(6) enables regulations to be made prescribing the qualifications and experience required of a person for the purposes of the management of an activity authorised by a waste management licence granted under section 35. The qualifications and experience so prescribed are treated by regulation 4(5)(b) of S.I. 2000/1973 (which applies to England and Wales and which amended regulation 1 of S.I. 1994/1056) as the qualifications and experience required of a person for the purposes of technical competence to manage a waste management activity authorised by a permit under Part II of that instrument (which implements Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (OJ No. L 257, 10.10.96, p.26)). The extension of that instrument to landfills by regulation 6 of S.I. 2002/1559 (which applies to England and Wales and which implements Council Directive 99/31/EC on the landfill of waste (OJ No. L 182, 17.7.99, p.1)) has the effect that the qualifications and experience prescribed pursuant to section 74(6) apply to persons managing a landfill pursuant to a landfill permit.
