Made 13th February 2015
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 13th February 2015
Coming into force 16th March 2015
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, 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 references to the European Regulations (as defined in regulation 2) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
