Mineral Extraction In Harbour Areas
Consultation published by The Scottish Government View original »
1. This consultation paper seeks views on the Scottish Government's proposals to extend the Environmental Impact Assessment and Natural Habitats (Extraction of Minerals by Marine Dredging) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 ("the MDRs") 2 to the extraction of minerals in any waters that fall within the jurisdiction of a harbour authority. Such action is needed to ensure that commercial minerals extraction undertaken by the extractive industry in harbour areas is covered by the requirements of the following European Community ( EC) Directives:
- Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects on certain public and private projects on the environment (the " EIA Directive");
- Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the "Habitats Directive");
- Directive 2003/35/EC on Public Participation (the Public Participation Directive").
