Written question asked by Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Wednesday, 5 July 2006.
Volatile Organic Compounds
- Question
- How many tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions have been emitted as a result of the interpretation of the term ““placing on the market”” in the Volatile Organic Compounds in Paints, Varnishes and Vehicle Refinishing Products Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/2773) and the consequent transport of waste and replacement production activities.
- Answer
-
I am not aware of any emissions of carbon dioxide as a result of the new regulations, as the standards for paint that they introduce do not yet apply, so no paint products would yet have been disposed of in response to the regulations. Officials will continue to work with the industry to help them find the best environmental outcome resulting from implementation of the new product requirements.
