<p>An assessment of the costs and benefits of the revised Waste Framework Directive
in England and Wales was carried out when laying the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations
2011 which transposed the Directive. The assessment was published and is still available
on the Legislation.gov webpages. As waste is a devolved issue, the Scottish and Northern
Irish administrations carried out and published their own impact assessments, which
are similarly available online.</p><p>The European Commission are expected to publish
proposals to amend the revised Waste Framework Directive on 2 December. Once those
proposals are published, we will submit another explanatory memorandum to the House,
assessing the potential costs and benefits of those changes.</p>
