These Regulations make provision for implementing, in part, 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. L156, 25.6.2003, p. 17). The programmes to which that Article applies include action programmes in relation to nitrate vulnerable zones designated under Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (O.J. No. L375, 31.12.91, p. 1).
Regulation 3 amends the Protection of Water Against Agricultural Nitrate Pollution Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (“the Principal Regulations”) to require provision to be made for public participation in the preparation, review or revision of any action programme in Northern Ireland. That provision must be made by the Department of the Environment and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development acting jointly.
