EXPLANATORY NOTE.

These Regulations amend the European Communities (Quality of Bathing Water) Regulations, 1988 which prescribe bathing water quality standards and the bathing areas to which they apply, together with the sampling programme and the methods of analysis and inspection to be used by local authorities to determine compliance with the standards. The effect of the amendment is to add 12 bathing areas to the 52 bathing areas listed in the First Schedule of the 1988 Regulations. The Regulations as amended give effect to Council Directive No. 76/160/EEC of 8 December, 1975 (O.J. No. L31/1, 5 February, 1976) concerning the quality of bathing water.
