Abstract

The Regulations amend Schedule 1 to the Antarctic Regulations 1995 by adding further restricted areas and by modifying the description of one restricted area, to give effect to Measure 1(2000) of the Twelfth Special Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (The Hague, 2000) and amend Schedule 2 by adding two further historic sites to give effect to Measures 1(2001) and 2(2001) of the Twenty-fifth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (St. Petersburg, 2001). The Regulations further amend Schedule 1 to the Antarctic Regulations 1995 by adopting new designations and numbering for all restricted areas. This gives effect to Article 3, paragraph 3, of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (Miscellaneous Series No 6 (1992) Cm 1960) and to Resolution V of the Twentieth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (Utrecht, 1996).
