PIPE-LINES

These Regulations amend the Offshore Petroleum Production and Pipe-lines (Assessment of Environmental Effects) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”). The 1999 Regulations implement Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, in relation to offshore oil and gas activities, as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC of 3 March 1997. These Regulations implement Directive 2003/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003. Directive 2003/35/EC provides for public participation in respect of the drawing up of certain plans and programmes relating to the environment and amends, with regard to public participation and access to justice, Council Directives 85/337/EEC and 96/61/EC. The 1999 Regulations are also amended to deal with certain matters which came to light after those Regulations came into force.
