1. PPC Legislation 2004 - 06 Getting to grips with recent changes

2. There have been many changes since PPC regulations issued* Amended half-a-dozen times since issued in 2000 Massive documents on how to interpret regulations issued Changes in interpretation every few months Even EA PIRs not up to date *Statutory Instrument 1973, year 2000

3. Problem for IPPC applicants: If you just read the regulations, how can you tell what’s really happening? Example: fertiliser formulation Solution: Keep up to date with EA meetings and announcements
