Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 30th November 2002, amend the Olive Oil (Marketing Standards) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1783). They apply to Great Britain.
These Regulations update the reference in the Olive Oil (Marketing Standards) Regulations 1987 to Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2568/91 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on relevant methods of analysis, so as to cover amendments of that Commission Regulation up to and including those effected by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 796/2002. They also update the reference to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 136/66 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats, so as to cover amendments of that Council Regulation up to and including those effected by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1513/2001.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
The power of the Secretary of State, as a Minister designated by virtue of S.I. 1972/1811 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Community, to make regulations which extend to Scotland remains exercisable by virtue of section 57(1) of the Scotland Act 1998 (1998 c. 46).
