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(1) 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 the references to Article 5 and Annex II of Council Regulation (EC) No. 73/2009 to be construed as references to those provisions as amended from time to time.
(c.68); section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3); the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51) (“the 2006 Act”), section 27(1); and the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7), Schedule, Part 1. Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 was inserted by the 2006 Act, section 28. The function conferred upon the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, insofar as within devolved competence, was transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998.
