These Regulations amend the Environmental Liability (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 to implement the changes to the Environmental Liability Directive introduced by Article 38 of Directive 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the safety of offshore oil and gas operations and amending Directive 2004/56/EC. Article 38 of Directive 2013/30/EU extends the definition of ‘environmental damage’ to include damage to the environmental status of marine waters as defined in Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy, such that that status is significantly adversely affected.
