(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (“the Age Regulations”) which implement Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27th November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (O.J. No. L303, 2.12.2000, p.16) so far as it relates to discrimination on grounds of age.
Regulation 2 amends regulation 34 of the Age Regulations so as to take account of statutory transfer schemes in relation to the exception for provision of certain benefits based on length of service.
