Whereas Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has applied in writing to the Scottish Ministers for a harbour empowerment order under section 16 of the Harbours Act 1964(1);

And whereas the Scottish Ministers(2) have, in pursuance of paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 to the said Act(3), determined that the application for this Harbour Empowerment Order is made in relation to a project which falls within Annex II to Council Directive No. 85/337/EEC(4) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment but whose characteristics do not require that it should be made subject to an environmental assessment.

And whereas the making of this Order is not opposed.

And whereas the Scottish Ministers are satisfied as mentioned in subsection (5) of the said section 16;

Now therefore, the Scottish Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 16 of the said Act, and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Order:

(1)

1964 c. 40; section 16 was amended by the Transport Act 1981 (c. 56), section 18 and Schedule 6, paragraph 3, 4 and 14 and by the Transport and Works Act 1992 (c. 42), section 63 and Schedule 3, paragraph 2.

(2)

The functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
