Schedule 2 of the 2014 Act specifies particular purposes for which provision may be made by way of regulations under section 18 of the 2014 Act for the purposes of protecting and improving the environment. Paragraph 22(1)(b) enables the making of provision which corresponds or is similar to any provision made, or capable of being made, under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) in connection with an EU obligation relating to protecting or improving the environment. Paragraph 30 allows the Scottish Ministers, for the purposes of paragraph 22(1)(b), to specify an EU instrument as one that is or contains an EU obligation mentioned in paragraph 22(1)(b).
The effect of the specification is to enable the powers in the 2014 Act to be used for the purposes of those EU instruments.
