Food
Made 29th October 2013
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 31st October 2013
Coming into force 20th November 2013
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 6(4), 16(1)(a) and (e), 17(1), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 , sections 56A, 56B and 56D of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 , 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 any reference in these Regulations to a European Union instrument listed in Schedule 1 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
Insofar as these Regulations are made in exercise of powers under the Food Safety Act 1990, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency in accordance with section 48(4A) of that Act .
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 .
