Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/draft)

The Convener:

The next item is draft affirmative instruments.

Although the regulations will result in a significant change in fees, an explanation for that has been given. I will do a Fergus Ewing and say that I am always surprised that packaging waste appears to be a reserved matter, although responsibility for recycling is devolved. Not having control over packaging creates difficulties dealing with recycling that cannot be resolved.
