7. SUMMARY
The Scottish Ministers consider that the proposed GBRs and SSAFO amendment, set out in Annex A, have taken into consideration the responses to previous consultations and that they will be an important step towards achieving good quality in Scotland's water environment. The proposed rules are in many cases good practice set out as guidance in the PEPFAA Code or the Forests and Water Guidelines. Those land managers who already work to such standards will find the changes, if any, to their existing methods will be minimal.
The General Binding Rules are designed to set reasonable standards which are transparent and fair, applicable to all land managers in Scotland.
We invite comments on the GBRs and on the amendment to the SSAFO Regulations.
