Schedule 1 to the Act specifies particular purposes for which provision regulating polluting activities may be made by way of regulations under section 2 of the Act. Paragraph 20(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to the Act enables the making of provision which corresponds or is similar to any provision made, or capable of being made, under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) in connection with one of the “relevant directives”. The effect of the designation is to enable the powers in the Act to be used to transpose the Industrial Emissions Directive. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/1972/68
