520			_aExplains how Scottish proposals for implementing the SEA directive (Directive 2001/42/EC) extend the scope of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) well beyond the coverage envisaged in the rest of the UK. This will test the efficacy of environmental assessment processes for delivering sustainable development and whether, given the choice, the public sector and others who deliver UK public services, will opt for minimal compliance with environmental legislation. Examines the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Scotland) Regulations 2004 followed by the proposed legislation that extends the scope of SEA to non-mandatory plans and programmes, including strategies. Compares and contrasts the Scottish SEA processes with those in the rest of the UK. Concludes that Scotland will be well positioned to ascertain whether pursuing higher environmental standards really is a positive-sum game serving as the driver of sustainable economic progress.
