End-of-Life Vehicles (Storage and Treatment) (Scotland) Regulations 2003 (SSI 2003/593)

The memorandum accompanying the equivalent English regulations was very useful. However, we have a number of recommendations concerning the regulations. First, there is the matter of late implementation.

Secondly, we think that there is an issue about the number of vehicles that have been mentioned. Regulation 7(4)(e)(i)(bb) omits the 400 vehicles that are mentioned in paragraph 45 in table 4B of schedule 3 to the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994 (SI 1994/1056). In the version of table 4B that is available to the committee, there is no reference to 400 vehicles, but there are references to 100 vehicles and 1000 vehicles. Is it agreed that we check with the Executive what has happened there?

Members indicated agreement.

Is there anything else to raise on the regulations?

The memorandum from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs states that the fees are payable to the Environment Agency. Has anyone read the regulations closely enough to say whether that has been changed so that fees are payable to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency?

Yes they are.

That is fine.
