The Offshore Combustion Installations (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations 2001
These Regulations are made under section 2 of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999. They establish a pollution control regime for the purpose of implementing the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (Council Directive 96/61 EC) in relation to offshore qualifying combustion installations (defined in regulation 2). Regulations have already been made (the Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations (England & Wales) 2000, S.I. 2000/1973) which implement the Directive in relation to activities carried out onshore as referred to in those Regulations.
