The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) Regulations 2015
These Regulations revoke and replace the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/153), as amended by numerous subsequent instruments (“the 2009 Regulations”). The Regulations continue to implement 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 (“Directive 2004/35/EC”) and now also implement the changes to that Directive introduced by Article 38 of Directive 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of offshore oil and gas operations and amending Directive 2004/35/EC (“Directive 2013/30/EU”).
