2. The Scottish Ministers hereby specify the enactments referred to in Schedule 1 as relevant enactments for the purposes of section 2 of the Act(1).
Section 2 imposes duties on the Scottish Ministers and SEPA with regard to the exercise of their functions under the enactments specified in Schedule 1 to this Order; insofar as such enactments confer functions upon a Minister of the Crown, which are exercisable within devolved competence, such functions were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
