Updates are made to The Air Quality (Miscellaneous Amendment and Revocation of Retained Direct EU Legislation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 to further amend Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 concerning the establishment of a European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register ('PRTR Regulation').
 
The EU has made amendments to the PRTR Regulation since the 2018 amendment was produced that need to be correctly implemented in the retained version of the Regulation to ensure it continues to operate effectively following the end of the Brexit implementation period, including Regulations on Reporting requirements.
