(This note is not part of the Regulation and does not purport to be a legal interpretation) | ||
These Regulations amend the European Union (Installations and Activities Using Organic Solvents) Regulations 2012 ( S.I. No. 565 of 2012 ) by removing the provision for indictable offences whereby a person guilty of an offence was liable on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding €100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both such fine and such imprisonment. The provision for summary offences remains. | ||
