PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL REGULATIONS (15 November 2006)
Motion Details
That this House congratulates the British poultry industry for the environmental and animal welfare improvements that it has made; recognises the financial pressures on Britain's poultry producers, especially from cheaper imports; notes that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has not claimed any compensation from the EU for the consequences of avian influenza; is concerned that the charges for the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) regulations are considerably higher than elsewhere in the EU thus causing serious competition problems for the British poultry industry; and calls upon the Government to make every effort to ensure that the IPPC regulations are implemented in the UK in such a way as to minimise the regulatory cost and competitive disadvantage they impose on British poultry producers when compared to foreign and European competitors.
