Consultation on UK implementation of enforcement obligations on ban of exports of metallic mercury and certain metallic mercury compounds and mixtures, and the safe storage of metallic mercury

This consultation closed on 14 October 2009.

This consultation concerns an EC regulation No. 11102/2008 to ban exports of metallic mercury and certain metallic mercury compounds and mixtures and the safe storage of metallic mercury. The regulation also requires all companies that produce or gain mercury to forward all relevant data related to the decommissioning of mercury cells in their plants to the Commission and competent authorities of the Member States concerned to facilitate the enforcement of the regulation. This consultation seeks views on how the UK proposes to implement within the UK the enforcement obligations as laid down by this EC regulation. The storage obligations of this regulation will be dealt with in a later consultation.
