  "text": "Environmental Protection, England\nMade 1st July 2009\nLaid before Parliament 3rd July 2009\nComing into force 25th July 2009\nThe Secretary of State makes these Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 (“the Act”). The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of the Act in relation to measures relating to the assessment, management and control of environmental noise.\nThese Regulations and the Regulations they amend, the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006, make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the Act. The Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 make references to Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. It appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for those references to be construed as references to that Directive as amended from time to time",
