Made 26th January 2016
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 28th January 2016
Coming into force 1st April 2016
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 13(5), 20(1) and 96(2)(a) of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 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 references to EU instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
