Environmental Protection, England
Made 15th October 2018
Laid before Parliament 17th October 2018
Coming into force 31st December 2018
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and 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 section 2(2) of the Act in relation to measures relating to the assessment, management and control of environmental noise.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the Act and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for references to Annex 2 to Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise to be construed as references to that Annex as amended from time to time.
