  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend certain references to persons being ordinarily resident in the European Community for the purpose of eligibility for awards, and the level of fees chargeable to them, under the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 1983 (“the 1983 Regulations”), the Students' Allowances (Scotland) Regulations 1987 and the Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Regulations 1988. Following the unification of Germany on 3rd October 1990, these references are now to be read so that ordinary residence in the German Democratic Republic prior to that date should count as equivalent to residence in the European Community for the purposes of the Regulations in question.\nThe Regulations in addition amend generally the definition of who is an excepted candidate for the purposes of Schedule 2 to the 1983 Regulations (maintenance awards for certain postgraduate agricultural students).",
