Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments Twenty-Fourth Report


Appendix 2 S.I. 2004/1375: memorandum from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs


Landfill (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1375)


1. By a letter of 22nd June 2004 the Committee has requested a memorandum on the following point in relation to the above instrument.

Given the terms of paragraph 1.1.4 (c) of the Annex to the Council Decision, should not "or" between sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph 5(3)(c) of Schedule 1 read "and"?

2. The Department assumes that the Committee is referring to paragraph 5(4)(c) of Schedule 1. The Department agrees that the terms of paragraph 1.1.4 (c) require that the conditions of both sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph 5(4)(c) are met and acknowledges that "or" between the sub-paragraphs should be replaced by "and". The Department is grateful to the Committee for drawing this point to its attention. A further set of Regulations is required to transpose elements of the Decision which have not yet been addressed. The Department will include an appropriate amendment in those Regulations so that the relevant provision is amended well before it comes into force on 16 July 2005.
