EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 10 of the European Parliamentary Elections Act 2002 (c.24)(“2002 Act”) provides for certain classes of people to be disqualified for the office of Member of the European Parliament (“MEPs”). Section 21 of the European Parliament (Representation) Act 2003 (c.7) amended section 10 of the 2002 Act so as to give the Secretary of State power to disqualify persons of a description connected with Gibraltar. The Order provides for similar classes of people to be disqualified as those who are disqualified in the United Kingdom.

This Order revokes and replaces the European Parliament (Disqualification)(United Kingdom and Gibraltar) Order 2004 (S.I.2004/1246) and is necessary in the light of the changes made by the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006.

The Order refers to the Parliament Act (Gibraltar Act No. 1950-15) and the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006. These can be obtained from www.gibraltarlaws.gov.gi
