# The Food for Particular Nutritional Uses (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2010, Introduction: Introductory text


Food
Made 11th February 2010
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 12th February 2010
Coming into force 15th March 2010
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 17(1), 26(1)(a) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972, and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for certain references to Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
There has been 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.
