The Deputy may also wish to note the following in respect of the European Communities (Bird and Natural Habitats) Regulations were introduced in 2011. These Regulations consolidated and updated the European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations of 1997 to comprehend both existing amendments to the Regulations, as well as rulings by the European Court of Justice in relation to a number of provisions under the EU Birds and Habitats Directives. As neither the EU Directives nor the Regulations introduced new provisions, the draft Regulations of 2011 did not undergo a formal Regulatory Impact Analysis. My Department, did, however, consult widely on the draft Regulations, including all Government Department, bodies under their aegis, and relevant statutory bodies.
