  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) which implemented Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage.\nThese Regulations make amendments to the 2009 Regulations pursuant to provide for the devolution to the Scottish Ministers of certain of the Secretary of State’s functions with respect of preventing and remedying damage to marine nature conservation in the Scottish offshore region. They provide that in this area the Scottish Ministers are the enforcing authority except where otherwise specified. In particular the Secretary of State will continue to be the enforcing authority with respect to preventing and remedying damage caused by oil, gas and carbon dioxide storage activities, and with respect to the prevention of damage from marine transport activities. The Regulations do not provide for the devolution of any legislative competence.\nAn impact assessment has not been prepared in relation to these Regulations as it has no impact on business, charities or the public sector.\nA transposition note setting out how the 2009 Regulations, as amended by this instrument, transpose the provisions of Directive 2004/35/EC, is available on the Defra website at www.defra.gov.uk.",
