FORESTRY

The Environmental Assessment (Forestry) Regulations 1998, (S.I.1998/1731) (“the 1998 Regulations”) provided for the implementation in relation to forestry projects in Great Britain of Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private and public projects on the environment. The present Regulations implement, for Scotland, changes made to that Directive made by Council Directive 97/11/EC. They also implement the extension of both Directives to the Contracting Parties of the European Economic Area (EEA) under Article 74 and Annex XX paragraph I.1 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as given effect by Decision No.20/1999 of the EEA Joint Committee adopted on 26th February 1999 (not yet published).
