Article 2 of this Order adds the Eurasian Beaver to Part 1B of Schedule 9 to the Act in relation to Wales (the Eurasian Beaver is currently included only in relation to England). The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
