These Regulations enforce Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer (OJ No L 286, 31.10.2009, p1) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 744/2010 (OJ No L 218, 19.8.2010, p2) (“the EU Regulation”). The EU Regulation controls the production, placing on the market and use of substances that deplete the ozone layer. The Regulations provide that the Secretary of State is the competent authority for the purposes of the EU Regulation. Breach of the provisions of the EU Regulation specified in Schedule 2 is an offence, punishable a on summary conviction, by a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or b on conviction on indictment, to a fine. Breaching an enforcement notice (see regulation 9) or a notice served by the Secretary of State under regulation 11 and obstructing officers of an enforcing authority are also offences. The Regulations extend to Great Britain, and to Northern Ireland in so far as they relate to import and export controlled by the EU Regulation. A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Ergon House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AL and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.

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.
