Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations are made in implementation of Directive 2000/69/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 November 2000 relating to limit values for benzene and carbon monoxide in ambient air and Council Directive 1996/62/EC on ambient air quality assessment and management.
Regulation 2 designates competent authorities for various air quality assessment and management functions required by Directive 1996/62/EC.
Regulation 3 amends the Air Quality Limit Values Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002/94) which in turn implement Council Directive 96/62/EC on ambient air quality assessment and management ‘the Air Framework Directive' and Council Directive 1999/30/EC relating to limit values for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air, ‘the First Air Daughter Directive'.
Regulation 3(9) amends the Air Quality Limit Values Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 by adding benzene and carbon monoxide as ‘relevant pollutants'; by setting limit values and margins of tolerance for those substances; by determining criteria for location and numbers of sampling points and setting reference methods for the analysis and sampling of benzene and carbon monoxide; and by making consequential amendments.
Copies of the directives may be obtained at http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/index.html and from the Stationery Office Ltd., 16 Arthur Street, Belfast, BT1 4GD.
