EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates the Directives listed below as relevant directives for the purposes of paragraph 20(2)(c) of Schedule 1 to the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 ("the Act"):

(b) Council Directive 2001/80/EC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants;
(c) Council Directive 2001/81/EC on national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants.
Schedule 1 to the Act specifies particular purposes for which provision regulating polluting activities may be made under section 2 of the Act. Paragraph 20(1)(b) allows for making provision which corresponds to or is similar to any provision made, or capable of being made, under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in connection with one of the relevant directives. The relevant directives are Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control, Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste, as amended, and any other directive of the Council of the European Communities designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of that paragraph by order made by statutory instrument.
An Order under these powers was made on 5 November 2001 designating Council Directive 99/31/EC on the landfill of waste (S.I. No. 3585). That Order entered into force on 12 November 2001.
