(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend regulation 7 of the Air Quality Standards Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1990 (“the principal regulations”).

Regulation 7 of the principal Regulations (limit values for nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere) implemented in Northern Ireland provisions of Council Directive 85/203/EEC on air quality standards for nitrogen dioxide (“the Directive”). Regulation 2 inserts the phrase “throughout Northern Ireland” after the words “to ensure that” in regulation 7 of the principal regulations.

Copies of the Directive and extracts from the Official Journal of the European Communities may be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, 16 Arthur Street, Belfast BT1 4GD.
