Editor's Notes
- Notes: The future projections on the MSW generation and disposal are based on a Sustainable Development Research Model for Ireland (ISus). The model has been developed by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), with financial support from the Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of this model is to forecast environmental emissions (to air, soil and water) and natural resource use (energy, land, water) until 2025. Version 0.1 of the model used an environmental input-output model to forecast emissions, waste and water use out to 2020 (O’Doherty and Tol, 2007). Currently, the operational version of the model is version 0.2. This version projects emissions to air, energy use and waste generation out to 2025 and is driven by the medium-term scenarios from the Medium-Term Review 2008-2015.
- Strategy . Pursue a strategic, rather than piecemeal, approach to law-making for broad environmental policy sectors. Definitions . Provide clear and unambiguous definitions for key terms. Make definitions consistent between laws unless there is good reason for difference. Requirements . Ensure that the requirements of the law are clear, and appropriate to deliver the aims of the legislation. Timeframes . Ensure that timeframes for implementation are clear and practical. Check that the timeframes of different laws fit realistically. Proportionality . Ensure that the requirements of legislation are proportionate to the risks and hazards they address. Reporting . Only require reporting that will support implementation of the law or give useful feedback on its effectiveness. Harmonise reporting requirements across different laws. Revision . Make provision in the law for a simplified process (where the Treaties allow this) to quickly review and revise parts of the law if initial implementation reveals problems of practicability and enforceability.
- I will finish with a quote from a book called the “The Regulatory Craft” , by Malcolm Sparrow (2000) “ Regulators, under unprecedented pressure, face a range of demands, often contradictory in nature: be less intrusive – but more effective; be kinder and gentler – but don’t let (them) get away with anything; focus your efforts – but be consistent; process things quicker – and be more careful next time; deal with important issues – but do not stray outside your statutory authority; be more responsive to the regulated community – but do not get captured by industry.” As you can see there are many challenges but we must meet them if we are to deliver effective enforcement of Environmental Legislation.
