2010 No. 87

Agriculture

The Rural Development Contracts (Rural Priorities) (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 section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 M1 and all other powers enabling them to do so.

The Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the reference to Council Regulation (EC) No. 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91 M2 to be construed as a reference to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
