Framework Directive definition

What does Framework Directive mean? In telecoms regulation, this term refers to the EU measure that set the overarching rules for regulating electronic communications networks and services. It is shorthand for Directive 2002/21/EC (the “Framework Directive”), as amended by Directive 2009/140/EC, which established the principles for market analysis, significant market power (SMP) designations, access and interconnection, spectrum management, and the role of national regulatory authorities (such as Ofcom and ComReg). Although widely used in practice and defined in EU legislation, the Framework Directive was repealed and replaced by the European Electronic Communications Code (Directive (EU) 2018/1972) with effect from 21 December 2020.

Waste exemptions under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016: categories, registration, conditions, reforms, enforcement consequences, NWFD storage, record-keeping and charges

Published by a LexisNexis Environment expert

Practice notes

Relevant legislation

In England and Wales, the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (EPR 2016), SI 2016/1154, set the applicable legal framework. These provisions initially transposed the EU Waste framework directive 2008/98/EC—see Practice Note: EU Waste Framework Directive—snapshot. Government guidance explains how to register or renew waste exemptions and how to choose the appropriate exemption for a waste management activity.

What are waste exemptions? A waste exemption is a waste operation that does not need an environmental permit, as long as the particular limits and conditions of that exemption are satisfied. Under EPR 2016, no person may operate a ‘regulated facility’ except in accordance with an environmental permit. A regulated facility covers ‘installations’ and ‘waste operations’, but excludes an ‘exempt facility’.

For clarification of the terms ‘regulated facility’, ‘installation’ and ‘waste operation’, see Practice Note: Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016—waste installations, waste operations and exempt waste operations. A waste activity is exempt from the requirement to obtain an environmental permit where it is not undertaken at an installation and it matches the descriptions and conditions specified in EPR 2016, Schedule 2, para...

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
