None.

The four environment agencies are the competent authorities of destination and dispatch under the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007.

Neither the Environment Agency nor the Northern Ireland Environment Agency has undertaken any recent investigations. Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency have investigated exports of end-of-life vehicles, as set out below. A number of these investigations are ongoing.
