(1)

The appropriate authority may, by regulations—

(a)

amend provision in any enactment which corresponds to that made by a relevant provision of Directive 2010/75/EU;

make provision requiring (whether by amending an enactment, or otherwise) a reference to a relevant provision of Directive 2010/75/EU (or a reference which encompasses a relevant provision) to be read as a reference to that provision as modified.

(2)
