Their main aim is to implement, in relation to Wales, Article 8 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste(1) (the "Waste Framework Directive") as respects an occupier of domestic property in relation to the household waste produced on the property.

Regulation 2 amends section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 ("the 1990 Act").

The duty imposed is to take all such measures available to him or her as are reasonable in the circumstances to secure that any transfer by him or her of household waste produced on the property is only to an authorised person or to a person for authorised transport purposes. Regulation 2(2) extends that duty to any occupier of CYNULLIAD CENEDLAETHOL CYMRU O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L 2006 Rhif 123 (Cy.16) DIOGELU'R AMGYLCHEDD, CYMRU Rheoliadau Gwastraff (Dyletswydd Gofal o ran Gwastraff Cartref) (Cymru) 2006 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau) Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn cael eu gwneud o dan adran 2(2) o Ddeddf y Cymunedau Ewropeaidd 1972.
