<p>EU Regulation 598/2014 establishes rules and procedures with regard to the introduction
of noise-related operating restrictions at EU airports. This includes the appointment
of a competent authority in relation to the operating restrictions.</p><p> </p><p>A
competent authority’s role relates to the operating restriction itself and is not
bound by geography. The Government’s implementation of this Regulation for Scotland,
The Airports (Noise-Related Operating Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2019, laid
before Parliament has been brought forward by the UK Government because this is a
reserved matter in relation to Scotland. The Regulations designate Scottish Ministers
as the competent authority for Scottish airports within the scope of the regulation.</p>
