# The Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Drinking Water (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2017, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Drinking Water (Scotland) (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”) consequent to amendments made by Commission Directive (EU) 2015/1787 amending Annexes II and III to Council Directive 98/83/EC as regards the quality of water intended for human consumption (OJ L 260 7.10.2015, p.6) (“the Directive”). These Regulations transpose the provisions of the Directive only in respect of bottled drinking water which is marketed as spring water or bottled drinking water. The remaining provisions of the Directive are implemented by the Public Water Supplies (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2017 and the Water Intended for Human Consumption (Private Supplies) (Scotland) Regulations 2017.
Regulation 2 removes the obligations on food authorities to check monitor and to audit monitor spring water and bottled drinking water in regulation 16 and schedules 9 to 11 of the 2007 Regulations.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment of the effect these Regulations will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre. Copies may be obtained from Food Standards Scotland, Pilgrim House, Old Ford Road, Aberdeen, AB11 5RL.
