Laid before the Scottish Parliament 17th January 2019

Coming into force 7th March 2019

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2), and paragraph 1A of schedule 2, of the European Communities Act 1972^f1, 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 references in these Regulations to the Animal Breeding Regulation (as defined in regulation 1(3)(b)) to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
