Made at 1.45 p.m. on 21st December 2020
Laid before the Scottish Parliament at 4.30 p.m. on 21st December 2020
Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1
The Scottish Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on them by section 2(2) and paragraph 1A of schedule 2 of the European Communities Act 1972, paragraphs 1(1) and (3) of schedule 2 and paragraph 21(b) of schedule 7 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the reference in regulation 2 to the Commission Regulation to be a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
In accordance with paragraph 4(a) of schedule 2 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2020, the Scottish Ministers consulted the Secretary of State prior to the making of these Regulations.
There has been consultation as required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety.
