Feeding Stuffs (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/208)

Agenda item 4 is instruments subject to annulment. The regulations make provision for the implementation and enforcement in Scotland of a number of recent Community measures relating to the composition of animal feeding stuffs. Similar regulations have been made for other parts of the UK. The legal adviser is concerned that in the citation there is no reference to article 9 of the relevant EC regulation, although that reference is in the English equivalent. We are somewhat mystified as to why that keeps happening. It is suggested that we might raise the issue again with the Executive.

There is also no transposition note, although I gather that one would not have been particularly helpful in this case. Finally, the issue of consolidation, which Christine May raised earlier, should be raised. Even though the original regulations are fairly recent, they have been altered a lot.

Do members agree to raise those points with the Executive?

Members indicated agreement.
