  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1998 (the “1998 Regulations”). The 1998 Regulations, made under the Education (Student Loans) Act 1990, govern mortgage style repayment loans. These loans are, for the most part, only available to students who started their courses before 1st August 1998.\nThese Regulations do not apply in or as regards Scotland.\nRegulation 9 increases, in line with inflation, the maximum amounts that may be lent to students in relation to an academic year commencing on or after 1st August 2007.\nThese Regulations also amend the 1998 Regulations to comply with article 9 of Decision No 1/80 of the Association Council of 19th September 1980 on the development of the Association between the European Community and Turkey (“the Decision”).\nArticle 9 of the Decision provides: “Turkish children residing legally in a Member State of the Community with their parents who are or have been legally employed in that Member State, shall be admitted to courses of general education, apprenticeship and vocational training under the same educational entry qualifications as the children of nationals of that Member State. They may in that Member State be eligible to benefit from the advantages provided for under the national legislation in this area.”.\nRegulation 8 sets out the criteria that this category of students, who were not previously eligible for a loan, must satisfy in order to be eligible for a loan in connection with an academic year beginning on or after 1st August 2006 but before 1st July 2007. Regulation 8 also sets out the time limits for applying for those loans.\nThese Regulations also revoke in part the Education (Student Loans) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.",
