The Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels) (Scotland) Regulations 2008
Made
15th October 2008
Laid before the Scottish Parliament
20th October 2008
Coming into force
18th November 2008
The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and all other powers enabling them to do so.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the references to Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
1972 c. 68. Section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3) and the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51), section 27(1)(a). The function conferred upon the Minister of the Crown under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, insofar as within devolved competence, was transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998. Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 was inserted by section 28 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.
O.J. No. L 70, 16.3.2005, p.1 as amended by O.J. No. L 29, 2.2.2006, p.3, O.J. No. L 58, 1.3.2008, p.1, O.J. No. L 76, 19.3.2008, p.31 and O.J. No. L 97, 9.4.2008, p.67.
