Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations implement Commission Directive 2014/99/EU (OJ No L 304, 23.10.2014, p. 89), which amends Directive 2009/126/EC (OJ No L 285, 31.10.2009, p. 36) as regards the test methods to certify petrol vapour recovery systems for use in service stations and the test methods to verify the operation of such systems.

Regulation 3 amends the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) 2010 (S.I. 2010/675) to substitute the reference to Directive 2009/126/EC in Section 1.2 of Part 2 of Schedule 1, so as to take account of the amendment of that Directive by Commission Directive 2014/99/EU. Regulation 4 amends those Regulations to substitute the definition of “PVR II” in paragraph 2 of Part 2 of Schedule 18 so that the updated definition refers to that Directive as amended by Commission Directive 2014/99/EU.

An Impact Assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available from the Better Regulation Programme, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
