The Environmental Liability (Scotland) Regulations 2009

Made

Coming into force

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 19721 and all other powers enabling them to do so.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the references to the Community instruments referred to in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.

In accordance with paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 2 to that Act, a draft of this instrument has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament.
