Better environmental regulation programme - integrated authorisation framework: consultation responses

3. Next steps

We are currently working up the detailed draft regulations which will form the basis of the Integrated Authorisation Framework. These will be accompanied, in the first instance, by the technical provisions relating to the radio-active substances regime. These technical provisions will include GBRs and other matters specific to the regime flowing from the relevant Directives.

We are aiming to engage with stakeholders on this package in the autumn, with the intention of making this first batch of Regulations during 2018.

The technical provisions for the waste, water, and pollution prevention and control regimes will follow separately, with appropriate stakeholder engagement as each is developed.
