The Environmental Impact Assessment (Fish Farming in Marine Waters) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) provided for the implementation in Northern Ireland of the requirements of Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (O.J. No. L175, 5.7.85, p.40) as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC (O.J. No. L73, 14.3.97, p.5) insofar as that Directive relates to an assessment of the environmental effects of certain projects in respect of fish farming in marine waters. These Regulations (which revoke and re-enact with amendments the 1999 Regulations) implement further changes to Directive 85/337/EEC made by Directive 2003/35/EC (O.J. No. L156, 25.6.03, p.17).
