This means that when an instrument to which any of those Regulations relate is made available in any of these countries it is placed on the market for the purposes of those Regulations.\nThese Regulations are made in consequence of a defect in the Regulations listed in the Schedule and will be issued free of charge to all known recipients of those Regulations.",
