Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I 2010/675) to implement Directive 2009/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Stage II petrol vapour recovery during refuelling of motor vehicles at service stations (OJ No L285, 31.10.2009, p. 36). Regulation 2 (2) amends Part 2 of Schedule 1 to alter the motor vehicle refuelling activities to which Environmental Permitting requirements are applied. Regulation 2(4) substitutes a new Schedule 18 which includes a new Part 2 requiring regulators to observe the requirements of Directive 2009/126/EC in relation to permits for motor vehicle refuelling activities.

A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business is available on the Defra web site (www.defra.gov.uk) together with a transposition note, and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
