Commission delays ecodesign strategy for fear of offending UK businesses

The EU has been caught out deliberately delaying introduction of a new slew of regulations to affect UK industries so as not upset us prior to our 23rd of June referendum.

The six new edicts will affect waste, fertilisers, water reuse, plastics and chemicals, with what is termed “targeted action” in food, construction, industrial and mining waste, and public procurement.

The latest burden of deeliberately delayed legislation involves laws to regulate products eco design characteristics. Extra costs will be imposed on firms regarding the end of life use of products not complying with the new regulations.
The Circular Economy package was intended to increase recycling levels and tighten rules on incineration and landfill.

It consists of six bills covering waste, packaging, landfill, end of life vehicles, batteries, accumulators, and waste electronic equipment.
