2014 No. 4

Environmental Protection

The Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) (Scotland) Regulations 2014

Made

Laid before the Scottish Parliament

Coming into force

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 34(5) of the Environmental Protection Act 19901 and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722 (“the 1972 Act”), and all other powers enabling them to do so.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for references to Commission Decision 2000/532/EC3 to be references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
