Made 15th April 2010

Coming into force 10th May 2010

The Scottish Ministers make the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1 and 8(1) of the Animal Health Act 1981^f1 and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972^f2.

This Order makes 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 references to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 616/2009 to be construed as references to that Commission Regulation as amended from time to time.
