The Minister for the Cabinet Office is designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(1) in relation to public procurement(2) and in relation to the combating of late payment in commercial transactions(3).
The Minister for the Cabinet Office makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, as read with paragraph 1A(4) of Schedule 2 to, that Act.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act and it appears to the Minister for the Cabinet Office that it is expedient for certain references to EU instruments to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
1972 c.68; section 2(2) was amended by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51), section 27(1)(a), and by the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7), Part 1 of the Schedule.
Paragraph 1A was inserted by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006, section 28, and was amended by the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008, Part 1 of the Schedule and by S.I. 2007/1388.
