Abstract

Regulation 2 makes a number of amendments to the 1997 Regulations, including in particular: (a) amending the definitions of "packaging waste" and "producer responsibility obligations", and inserting definitions of "recyclable material", " SIC code", "special producer" and "waste"; (b) removing the category of "wholesaler" from those on whom producer responsibility obligations are imposed; (c) requiring producers with over £5 million turn over and applying for individual registration with an Agency to include an operational plan showing the steps to be taken to comply with their obligations; (d) imposing obligations on the Secretary of State and sellers to provide the necessary information to users of packaging about methods of reuse, recovery and recycling of packaging and packaging waste, in accordance with Article 13 of the Directive; (e) providing for data to be supplied on a form provided by the appropriate Agency; (f) permitting producers using reusable packaging to spread their obligations over four years; (g) requiring the appropriate Agency to publish details of its monitoring policy from 2000 onwards. Regulation 3 revokes certain provisions of the 1997 Regulations in consequence of the coming into force of the Competition Act 1998.
