  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThe Contaminants in Food (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”) make provision for the enforcement and execution of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (O.J. 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.\nThe 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.\nRegulations 4 and 5 correct minor errors in regulations 8 and 9 of the principal Regulations.\nRegulation 6 revokes specified instruments. These revocations supplement the revocations which were effected by the principal Regulations.\nNo regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.",
