These Regulations contribute to the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/1191 of the European Parliament and of the Council on promoting the free movement of citizens by simplifying the requirements for presenting certain public documents in the European Union (OJ L 200, 26.7.2016, p.1) (“the EU Regulation”). The EU Regulation takes full effect on 16 February 2019.
Amongst other things, the EU Regulation establishes multilingual standard forms which are to accompany certain civil status documents (such as birth certificates) and which are to be issued by the relevant authorities in Member States of the European Union.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations makes provision for a fee of £10 to be payable where the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland issues such a multilingual standard form.
No business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations as no impact upon business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
1973 c.51. Section 56(1) was amended by S.I. 2011/1043. The reference to a Government department in section 56(1) is to be read as a reference to the Scottish Administration by virtue of article 2(2) of the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820) and the functions conferred upon the Minister under section 56 were, insofar as exercisable within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46). The requirement to obtain the consent of the Treasury was removed by section 55 of that Act.
