F1 EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend regulation 7 of the Volatile Organic Compounds in Paints, Varnishes and Vehicle Refinishing Products Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2773) which implement Directive 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 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. Regulation 7 of those Regulations enables the Secretary of State to delegate enforcement functions. These amending Regulations provide that where there is a delegation of functions to a local authority, then section 108 of the Environment Act 1995 will apply to that local authority. The offences in section 110 of the same Act will also apply insofar as relevant.

A full regulatory impact assessment was produced in relation to the Volatile Organic Compounds in Paints, Varnishes and Vehicle Refinishing Products Regulations 2005 and a further impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no further impact on business, the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
