No. L 77, 16.3.2001, p.1, as amended). There is therefore a definition of that Commission Regulation in regulation 2(1) of the principal Regulations which refers to amendments made to that Commission Regulation. The definition of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 in the principal Regulations includes a reference to the amendment effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002 (O.J. No. L 86, 3.4.2002, p.5). An error in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002 necessitated the issue of a corrigendum to it, which was published on 14th June 2002 (O.J. No. L 155, 14.6.2002, p.63). Regulation 3 gives effect to that corrigendum by amending the definition of “the Commission Regulation” in the principal Regulations. Regulations 4 and 5 correct minor errors in regulations 8 and 9 of the principal Regulations. Regulation 6 revokes specified instruments. These revocations supplement the revocations which were effected by the principal Regulations. No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2002/349 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/contaminants-in-food-scotland-amendment-regulations-2002 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
