  • Letter from the Minister for Environment
    Lesley Griffiths AS/MS Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs Mick Antoniw MS Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee [email protected] 18 September 2020 Dear Mick, Further to my attendance at Committee on 14 September, I agreed to provide a definitive list of the installations in Wales captured by the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020. I also agreed to request information from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) on how it may use authorised persons to monitor compliance on its behalf and on NRW’s position regarding what would be considered reasonable prior notice, with detail of the average time used previously. A definitive list of the installations which will be captured by the Order is attached, based on the current database of Welsh installations participating in the EU Emissions Trading System. The list details whether it is a participant in the main scheme (indicated by GHG) or one of the opt-outs and the activity or activities undertaken at the installation which requires a permit under this scheme. With regards to the use of authorised persons, NRW have responded as follows: “This power provides regulators with flexibility in terms of access to and use of specialist resources. The regulator has a statutory duty to determine emissions where an operator has failed to do so and these powers enable a regulator to appoint an agent (e.g. a verifier), perhaps with specialist process knowledge, to visit premises to gather information to calculate emissions. We envisage use of this power would occur rarely and most likely in circumstances where an operator refuses to submit emissions information”.

  • Inquiry Into Ports in Wales Introduction I Am Jim O
    Response to Welsh Affairs Committee- Inquiry into Ports in Wales Introduction I am Jim O’Toole, Managing Director of The Port of Mostyn Ltd in Flintshire. I am a Deputy Lieutenant to the Clwyd Lieutenancy and a past Chairman of the North Wales CBI which I represented on the North Wales Economic Forum. I am also a member of the Bank of England Advisory Panel for North Wales, and also represent Welsh ports and industrial interests on the Dee estuary relating to the Water Framework Directive. I have more than 50 years experience in the shipping and ports industries. Regulatory Regime Ports is a reserved matter and current U.K. policy is contained in the document “Modern Ports” – a U.K. Policy – Nov. 2000. The Welsh Assembly Government ‘s parallel policies on ports are contained mainly in two policy documents: “The Wales Freight Strategy” - May 2008 and “Wales Transport Strategy” - April 2008. Neither of the Welsh documents contain what could be regarded as firm policies for Welsh port development, indeed the Transport Strategy document makes no more than a passing reference to ports and sea transport. The Wales Freight Strategy document provides an overview of the Welsh ports sector and contains 10 policy statements. However, scrutiny of the policy statements shows they are little more than intentions to “continue to review” and to “continue to monitor” various strategies for potential port development. I am therefore not convinced that the Welsh Assembly Government fully appreciates the importance of ports to the Welsh economy, hence its lack of firm policies which the industry can rely upon when considering development plans.
