Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Contaminants in Food (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”) make provision for the enforcement and execution of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (O.J. No. L 77, 16.3.2001, p.1, as amended). There is therefore a definition of that Commission Regulation in regulation 2(1) of the principal Regulations which refers to amendments made to that Commission Regulation.

The definition of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 466/2001 in the principal Regulations includes a reference to the amendment effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002 (O.J. No. L 86, 3.4.2002, p.5). An error in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 563/2002 necessitated the issue of a corrigendum to it, which was published on 14th June 2002 (O.J. No. L 155, 14.6.2002, p.63). Regulation 3 gives effect to that corrigendum by amending the definition of “the Commission Regulation” in the principal Regulations.

Regulations 4 and 5 correct minor errors in regulations 8 and 9 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 6 revokes specified instruments. These revocations supplement the revocations which were effected by the principal Regulations.

No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.
