Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what his policy is on retaining the European Recycling Platform scheme and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulations after the UK leaves the EU.

The European Recycling Platform is an independent company that provides regulatory compliance services to businesses across a number of countries including UK. The Government does not manage this company.

The Repeal Bill will ensure the whole body of existing EU environmental law (including the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013) continues to have effect in UK law, providing businesses and stakeholders with maximum certainty as we leave the EU.
