- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: Amendment No. 115 proposes to set out requirements of the respective directives. Those requirements are set out in the transposing legislation. It is not necessary to restate the detail in this legislation. In fact, as mentioned earlier, there is a risk of this proposal being considered a partial transposition and therefore legally defective or a risk of divergence or inconsistency between...

Amendment No. 126 is a technical amendment to define more precisely MARA's role in enforcement under the referenced provisions of this Bill. Amendment No. 127 is similarly technical in nature and provides greater certainty and clarity in respect of MARA's enforcement functions.
