The Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/483) (“the 2015 Regulations”) implemented Directive 2012/18/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances, amending and subsequently repealing Council Directive 96/98/EC (O.J. No. L 197, 24.7.2012, p.1) (“the Seveso III Directive”). As part of the implementation of the Seveso III Directive, the 2015 Regulations give specified functions to a local authority as defined in regulation 2(1) of those Regulations. These Regulations correct an error by amending, in relation to Scotland, the definition of local authority. No impact assessment has been prepared for this instrument as its only purpose is to correct an error in the 2015 Regulations.
