These relate to the recovery of marine litter etc. in the course of diving activities, using vehicles or vessels to remove marine litter or debris and depositing substances removed from the hull of a vessel in the course of certain activities (e.g. cleaning).

This Act will enable regulations to be made requiring that private rented domestic and non-domestic properties in Scotland meet a minimum energy efficiency standard.

This regulation will create a UK network of sites previously designated under the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC and Wild Birds Directive 2009/147/EC.
The European Commission’s role regarding the designation of protected sites will be transferred to the Scottish Ministers. The Scottish ministers will assume the European Commissions administrative and enforcement powers under retained EU law.
This regulation will provide capacity market rules for the ‘standstill period’. No capacity payments will be provided to holders of capacity agreements during the 'standstill period'.
The ongoing 'standstill period' will end on a ‘trigger event’ when it is determined capacity payments can be made in accordance with State aid law. If the ‘trigger event’ is not reached before 1 October 2020, existing capacity market agreements will be terminated immediately without further payments.
