The document outlines the necessity for Northern Ireland to comply with European Community (EC) Directives through specific Orders, where no local or national discretion is possible but separate Northern Ireland provisions are required. The Wildlife (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 aimed to align the Wildlife (NI) Order 1985 with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to fully implement the EC Wild Birds Directive, without introducing a distinct policy approach or administrative structure for Northern Ireland. Similarly, the Food Safety (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 granted the Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland (DANI) regulatory powers to implement various EC Meat Hygiene Directives, aligning Northern Ireland's legislation with Great Britain's Food Safety Act 1990. Both Orders ensured compliance with EC directives on a parity basis with Great Britain, without reflecting different local administrative structures or arrangements.
