The Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Amendment and Power to Modify) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

The Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Amendment and Power to Modify) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 17 December 2018

The instrument amends secondary legislation which forms part of the United Kingdom’s implementation of Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide (“the CCS Directive”). It addresses failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising due to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The instrument also makes two minor amendments unrelated to the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union correcting outdated and incorrect cross-references. 

This instrument applies to energy, which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
