The provisions made by these Regulations relate to these registrations.\nRegulation 4 of the principal Regulations sets out the application procedure in respect of registrations. Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the period of a notification of a proposed application for registration or proposed application for variation or cancellation of a registration. It also amends the period of notice in relation to any registration from 56 days to 42 days.\nThere is savings provision to ensure that the overall timescale is preserved for applications notified to relevant authorities prior to the coming into force of these Regulations (regulation 3).",
