Introduction
1.These explanatory notes relate to the European Union (Accessions) Act which received Royal Assent on 16 February 2006. They have been prepared by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not require any explanation or comment, none is given.
