# The Harbour Works (Assessment of Environmental Effects) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations make minor amendments to the Harbour Works (Assessment of Environmental Effects) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1990 (“the 1990 Regulations”) which implemented, in respect of harbour works, Council Directive 85/337/EEC of the 27th June 1985 (O.J. No. L175, 5.7.85, p. 40), on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment.
The amendments align the law of Northern Ireland more exactly with the Directive, and make provision for costs of inquiries held under the 1990 Regulations.
Copies of the EEC Directive referred to in this Note can be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, 16 Arthur Street, Belfast.
