The Trade in Animals and Related Products (Scotland) Regulations 2012

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 M1, section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 M2 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 a reference in these Regulations to an EU instrument listed in Schedule 1 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
