Briefing for ECCLR meeting on EU exit and the environment

Scottish Environment LINK members welcome the Committee’s decision to seek further evidence from the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform and the Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations at its meeting on 30 April. We understand that discussions will focus on:

• Environmental risks associated with exit, especially in the event of a ‘no deal’;
• New (or returning) powers/common frameworks; and
• Environmental principles and governance

Our briefing follows a similar structure. This is available here.
