EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Highlands and Islands Air Services (Scotland) Act 1980 (“the 1980 Act”) which makes provision for assistance by way of grants or loans in connection with air services serving the Highlands and Islands.

The Regulations amend section 3 of the 1980 Act by substituting a new paragraph(b) in the definition of “air services” so as to take account of the replacement of Council Regulation 2408/92 by Regulation (EC) No1008/2008.

These Regulations also remove from section 3 of the 1980 Act the definition of “EEA Agreement” (which is no longer required).
