Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003.
They are made to take account of S.I. 2005 2773 “The VOCs in Paints, Varnishes and Vehicle Refinishing Products Regulations 2005” which implement Directive 2004/42/CE (“the VOCs in Paints Directive”) on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of organic solvents in certain paints, varnishes and vehicle refinishing products, and amending Directive 1999/13/EC (“the Solvent Emissions Directive”).
These Regulations delete from the scope of the 2003 Regulations one category of “vehicle refinishing” which has been removed by Article 13 of the VOCs in Paints Directive.
