These Regulations correct a typographical error and three wrong cross references in the Harbour Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 1999. Those Regulations implement, for Great Britain, Council Directive 85/337/EEC (OJ No. L 175, 5.7.1985, p.40), as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC (OJ No. L 73, 14.3.1997, p.5), on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, in respect of certain harbour works.
