These Regulations amend regulation 20 of the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) to make its meaning clearer.
Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 is cited in the enabling powers for these Regulations because reference is made in regulation 2 to certain EU instruments which are defined in the 2012 Regulations as meaning those EU instruments as amended from time to time.
In addition, these Regulations revoke—
the Arsenic in Food (Scotland) Regulations 1959 and related amending instruments; and
the Chloroform in Food (Scotland) Regulations 1980.
Schedule 2 to these Regulations makes amendments consequential to the revocations.
A Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
