Yes. The principles that are put forward in PV-5 are already in the act in various places. This is to provide a definition. Definitions are included in PV-5 for “intergenerational equity”, “non-regression” and “polluter pays”; where “non-regression” is not in the act, it is useful to have the definitions in place, as scientific advances may mean that the government continues to want to amend the act in future. Thank you.
