ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ENGLAND AND WALES
These Regulations are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (1972 c. 68). They amend section 57 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (1990 c. 43) (the EPA 1990) to extend the scope of the direction making powers under that section from waste management licences to permits under the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations 2000 which authorise the disposal or recovery of waste. The amendment to section 57 constitutes a further measure for the purposes of transposing the requirements of Article 4 of the Waste Framework Directive 75/442/EEC.
