What Legislation allows an airport to mandate NADP?

Does anyone know where the power comes from for an airport to mandate NADP 1 / 2 departure profiles (e.g. as at Paris CDG, Madrid MAD etc) ?

The procedures are defined in ICAO DOC 8168 Vol 1 and are referred to in JAR-OPS Rule 1.235, also EASA OPS CAT.OP.AH.130, but these rules deal with the responsibilities of an aircraft operator:- how many NADP profiles can it have and need for compliance with safety, etc.

Where the mandatory use of NADP is described in the AIP, was this enforced by the local airspace regulator, or the airport operator, who?

In the UK the CAA has written volumes on the subject of noise but seems to be mute on ICAO noise abatement departure profiles.
