Abstract

These Regulations amend the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (Northumbria River Basin District) Regulations 2003 and the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (Solway Tweed River Basin District) Regulations 2004. The amendments transpose aspects of Directive 2013/39/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council which concerns priority substances in the field of water policy. The Regulations also amend the Solway Tweed Regulations to make provision about shellfish water protected areas. The amendments ensure that any necessary environmental objectives required to improve or protect the water quality of a shellfish water protected area to support shellfish life and growth are set, that monitoring in relation to such objectives takes place in those areas, and that information about them is included in the river basin management plan.
