Marine Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 (S.I. No. 446 of 2015).

These Regulations amend the Marine Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2007 so as to include the Natural Resources Body for Wales ( the NRW ) in the definition of the appropriate authority . They also require the Welsh Ministers to set reasonable fees in respect of expenses incurred in both the Welsh Ministers and the NRW s capacity as an appropriate authority; update references to reflect Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment; and set out the procedure enabling the NRW (as well as the Marine Management Organisation) to determine that an environmental impact assessment is not required under regulation 10(1)(a)(i) of the principal Regulations.
