Abstract

These Regulations provide for facilities located in England, Scotland or Wales to be authorised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on ship recycling so that they may be added to the European List. They, among other things: designate the Health and Safety Executive and the relevant environmental regulator as joint competent authorities for the purposes of the EU Regulation; provide for authorisation of facilities; provide for the notification of facilities to be included on the European List. Permits for ship recycling facilities that wish to accept ships within the scope of the EU Regulation will need to contain conditions that ensure compliance with the EU Regulation. Ship recycling facilities already require authorisation as they are regulated as waste operations under Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste.
