Written evidence from Scottish Environment LINK to the Scottish Parlaiment’s Europe and External Relations Committee.
WE believe that transpositions should be fit for purpose, reflect agreed national policy priorities and seek to be consistent with existing legislation wherever possible. LINK recommends that Government and Parliament should work together closely to set up a transparent, stakeholder-accessible process which enables direct and effective engagement with EU Directives from ‘upstream’ development through to on the ground implementation in Scotland.
