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 M1, sections 252(1) and 267(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 M2 and sections 2(4) and (5), 3, 5, 6(1), 15(2), 16(7), 19(2) and (3), 22(4)(b), 23(1) and (3), 27(1), 30(1) and 39(1) of the Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Act 1997) M3 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 Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures M4 to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
