NATURE CONSERVATION

These Regulations amend the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the principal Regulations”), which make provision for implementing Council Directive 92/43/EEC (the “Habitats Directive”) on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora as amended by the Act of Accession to the European Union of Austria, Finland and Sweden (O.J. No. C241, 29.8.94) and by Council Directive 97/62/EC. The Regulations also amend the definition of a “wild bird” in the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 to implement Article 6 of Council Directive 79/409/EEC (the “Wild Birds Directive”) on the conservation of wild birds.
