The research study, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, examined the tension between the need to legislate locally for Scotland and the need for the UK to comply with European Law. Its aim was to explore the division of power between the Scottish and UK institutions in practice by examining the extent to which, after devolution, Community environmental law is being implemented in different ways in Scotland and in England and Wales. The study did not include Northern Ireland, where the pattern of legislation in recent years has been distorted by the suspension of devolution from October 2002 to May 2007 and the need to clear a substantial backlog of unimplemented measures.
