These Regulations make miscellaneous amendments to waste management legislation.
Section 74 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 makes provision for the determination by a waste regulation authority of the question whether a person is or is not a fit and proper person to hold a waste management licence. One consideration is whether such a person has been convicted of a “relevant offence”; relevant offences are listed in regulation 3 of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994. Regulation 2 prescribes as additional relevant offences the criminal offences in respect of landfill tax created by paragraph 15(1) and (3) to (5) of Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1996.
Regulation 3 substitutes a new Schedule for that in the Environmental Protection (Waste Recycling Payments) Regulations 1992, which make provision for determining the net saving of expenditure payable by waste disposal authorities to waste collection authorities and other persons who collect and retain waste for recycling. The Schedule provides figures for determining the net saving where this cannot otherwise be determined because sufficient accurate information is not available or could only be obtained at excessive cost. The new Schedule increases the figures, firstly, to take account of rises in the retail price index and, secondly by £7 per tonne to reflect the additional cost associated with the landfill tax.
Regulation 4 revokes earlier amendments which are spent.
