for requiring that—

(i)

in respect of an agreement he is furnished with information as to any steps taken, or decision given, under or for the purpose of any directly applicable Community provision affecting the agreement; and

(ii)

the information so given or such part, if any of it, as may be provided by the regulations is included in the particulars to be entered or filed in the register under section 1(2)(b) above;

(b)

for regulating the procedure to be followed in connection with the furnishing of particulars, information and documents under section 24 above and section 36 below;

(c)

for excluding from the particulars to be furnished or from the particulars to be entered in the register under this Act—

(i)

such details as to parties or other persons, prices (or, in relation to Part III of this Act, charges) terms or other matters as are material for the purpose only of defining the particular application of continuing restrictions accepted or information provisions made under agreements of which particulars are so entered;

(ii)

particulars of such variations as may be specified in the regulations, being variations the registration of which is in the Director’s opinion unnecessary for the purposes of this Act;

(d)

for prescribing the form of any notice, certificate or other document to be given, made or furnished under the provisions of this Act;

(3)

Any regulations made under this section prescribing a fee for inspection of the register or for the supply of copies of or extracts from particulars entered or filed in the register, shall be made with the approval of the Treasury.

The Director’s power to make regulations under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument, and the M1Statutory Instruments Act 1946 shall apply to such regulations as it applies to regulations made by a Minister of the Crown within the meaning of that Act.
