Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These regulations amend the Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1990 by substituting a new definition of “European Community” which includes the former German Democratic Republic. The effect is that, for the purposes of eligibility for a loan, residence in that state prior to its unification with the Federal Republic of Germany is treated as residence in the European Community.
