Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Protection of Water Against Agricultural Nitrate Pollution (Scotland) Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”) and the Designation of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends the 1996 Regulations, principally to give effect to the requirements of Article 2 of Directive 2003/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on public participation in respect of the drawing up of certain plans and programmes relating to the environment (O.J. No. L 156, 25.6.03, p.17). Regulation 2 gives effect to Article 2 in respect of action programmes for nitrate vulnerable zones required by virtue of Article 5(1) of Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (O.J. No. L 375, 31.12.91, p.1).
The website of the Scottish Ministers on which they are required to publish information on public participation in action programmes is www.scotland.gov.uk.
Regulation 2 also amends the 1996 Regulations to refer to the updated version of the Code of Good Practice for the Prevention of Environmental Pollution from Agricultural Activity issued by the Scottish Ministers on 11th March 2005. Regulation 3 makes a similar amendment to the 2002 Regulations.
