The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 amend the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) Regulations 2015. The amendments serve to devolve enforcement responsibility under the EU Environmental Liability Directive (2004/35/EC) in Welsh offshore areas, transfering responsibility from the Secretary of State to the Welsh Ministers.

The Regulations also amend the 2015 Regulations by removing an unnecessary procedural step and to corrrect a flawed transposition of the 2004 Directive.
