- Implementation of Petrol Vapour Recovery “Stage II” Controls (known as “PVR II”);
- Amendment which will increase the penalties for offences committed under the PPC Regulations in line with those in Section 105 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act (the “CNEA”);
- To provide that where a coin-operated dry cleaning machine is to cease operation in October 2007 because it is not possible to comply with the Solvent Emissions Directive (the “SED”) no application for a PPC permit is required in the interim;
