The Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011
Made 9th February 2011
Laid before the Scottish Parliament 11th February 2011
Coming into force 1st April 2011

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 that section, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for references in these Regulations, and in the Regulations which these Regulations amend, to Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards Member States’ notifications to the Commission in the milk and milk products sector or to any provision of that instrument to be construed as a reference to that instrument or provision as amended from time to time.
