These Regulations amend the Working Time Regulations 1998 which implement Council Directive 2003/88/EC (OJ No.L229, 18.11.2003, p.9). They confirm for the avoidance of doubt that the definition of offshore work includes work performed in the British sector of the Continental Shelf (except in an area or part of an area of the Continental Shelf in which the law of Northern Ireland applies), as well as that performed within the territorial waters of the United Kingdom adjacent to Great Britain.
