2019 No. 1165 (W. 203)
The Hazardous Waste (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2019
Made
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales
Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1(2)
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 19721 (“the ECA 1972”).
The Welsh Ministers are designated2 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the ECA 1972 in relation to measures relating to the prevention, reduction and elimination of pollution caused by waste3 and the prevention, reduction and management of waste4.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the ECA 1972, and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for references to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants (recast)5 to be construed as references to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
