M1M2The Secretary of State has been designated in respect of the environment for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”) and makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by that section, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the 1972 Act, and section 14A(2)(a) of the Interpretation Act 1978 .
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the 1972 Act and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for references to EU instruments in these Regulations (other than references to Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage M3) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
