(This note is not part of the Regulations)
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.
