66 Amendment by Act of EPA objectives (relating to social objectives) not to affect environment protection licensing functions
The amendment made by Schedule 11.7 to the new Act to section 6 (2) of the Protection of the Environment Administration Act 1991 does not apply to the objectives of the EPA that are required by section 45 (b) of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 to be taken into consideration by an appropriate regulatory authority when exercising its functions under Chapter 3 of that Act with respect to environment protection licences.
Note.
Schedule 11.7 amended section 6 (2), which relates to the objectives of the EPA, to add social considerations (in addition to economic and environmental considerations) in connection with the maintenance of ecologically sustainable development.
