Animals

Made 29th May 2012
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 31st May 2012
Coming into force 1st July 2012
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 , section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make 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 a reference in these Regulations to an EU instrument listed in Schedule 1 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
