2010 No. 307
The Nutrition and Health Claims (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010
Made
Laid before the Scottish Parliament
Coming into force
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(e) and (f), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 19901, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722, 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 to the Annex to the EU instrument mentioned in regulation 2 to be construed as references to that Annex as it may be amended from time to time.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990 the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency3.
There has been consultation as required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety4.
