FOOD
Made 26th November 2008
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 27th November 2008
Coming into force 19th December 2008
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 by sections 6(4), 16(1), 17, 26(2) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 , and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the references in regulation 2(1) of these Regulations to certain Community instruments to be references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
To the extent that these Regulations are made in exercise of powers under the 1990 Act, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency as required by section 48(4A) of that Act.
The Scottish Ministers have carried out consultation as required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety .
