Coming into operation
1st December 2019
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, being a Department designated() for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972() in relation to the environment, makes this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by that section of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, that Act() and by Article 28(5) of the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985(). In accordance with Article 29(3) of that Order, the Department has consulted the Council for Nature Conservation and the Countryside() and has given to district councils and other persons affected an opportunity to submit objections or representations with respect to the subject-matter of this Order.
This Order makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department that it is expedient for the references to the list of invasive alien species of European Union concern, adopted by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species(), to be construed as references to that list as amended from time to time.
