Coming into force

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 that Act and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the references to the legislation set out in Schedule 1 to the Products of Animal Origin (Third Country Imports) (Scotland) Regulations 2007(2) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.

1972 c.68.

Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 was inserted by section 28 of the 2006 Act. The functions conferred upon a Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, insofar as exercisable within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the 1998 Act.
