Environment Agency
27 January 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested from the Environment Agency (the EA) the amount of evidence (measured in tonnes) of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) met through the use of the Compliance Fee broken down by category and the identity of the Producer Compliance Schemes (PCSs) that made use of the Compliance Fee to meet their obligations. The Environment Agency has withheld the requested information under Regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR on the basis that disclosure would adversely affect the confidentiality of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provided by law to protect a legitimate economic interest. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Environment Agency has successfully applied Regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR.
EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
