These Regulations amend the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3242) to include shellfish water protected areas. These Regulations are made due to the revocation of Directive 2006/113/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the quality required of shellfish waters (OJ No L 376, 27.12.2006, p 14), so that protections under that Directive are continued. Similar provision is being made for the Solway Tweed River Basin in a separate instrument.
