Regulation 21 Amendment of the European Economic Interest Grouping Regulations 1989

Regulation 20 (application of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986^f1) is amended as follows.

The existing provision is renumbered as paragraph (1).

In paragraph (1), for “4 to 11” substitute “4 to 7, 8, 9, 10, 11”.

After that paragraph insert—

“(2)

Where an EEIG is wound up as an unregistered company under Part 6 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 the provisions of Articles 2(2) to (6), 3, 5, 7 to 11, 13, 14, 15, 16(2), 19 to 21 and 23 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002^f2 shall apply in relation to the EEIG as if—

(a)

any reference to a director or past director of a company included a reference to a manager of the EEIG and any other person who has or has had control or management of the EEIG’s business; and

(b)

the EEIG were a company as defined by Article 2(2) of that Order.”

In consequence of the amendments made by this regulation, the heading to regulation 20 becomes “Application of legislation relating to disqualification of directors”.
