These Regulations give effect to European Parliament and Council Directive 2003/53/EC (on nonylphenol, nonylphenol ethoxylate and cement) insofar as it relates to nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylate (“the restricted substances”). This Directive makes amendments to Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. Regulation 3 sets out exclusions from the scope of the Regulations. Regulation 4 places restrictions on the placing on the market or the use of either of the restricted substances for certain specified purposes. Regulation 5 makes it an offence to contravene regulation 4 and specifies the penalties for such an offence. Copies of the Directive may be obtained from the Stationery Office Bookshop, 16 Arthur Street, Belfast BT1 4GD.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
