Abstract

These Regulations amend the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2003. They transpose aspects of Directive 2013//39/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directives 2000/60/EC and 2008/105/EC as regards priority substances in the field of water policy. Amendments concern, among other things: administration; monitoring; environmental objectives and programmes of measures; river basin management plans; enactments in relation to which general duties of administration apply. They also add two new regulations on a preliminary programme of measures for each river basin district in relation to specified substances; and coordination at European level in case that additional measures at European Union or member State level may be necessary in order to facilitate compliance with the Directive.
