(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement in part the amendments made by Directive 2009/3/EC of the European Parliament and the Council (OJ L114, 7.5.2009, p 10) to Council Directive 80/181/EEC (OJ L39, 15.2.1980, p 40) which relates to the use of units of measurement.
Regulation 3 removes the time limit on the use of supplementary indications of quantity expressed in imperial units of measurement (31st December 2009) which is provided for in the regulations there listed. The use of such supplementary indications is, therefore, permitted indefinitely.
In consequence of provision in regulation 3, regulation 4 revokes the Weights and Measures (Metrication Amendments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002, which inserted the 31st December 2009 time limit in question.
Regulation 5 modifies the Weighing Equipment (Beltweighers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1985 so that, where they continue to apply to beltweighers passed as fit for use for trade prior to 1st June 2006, they are read as if the 31st December 2009 time limit were omitted.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
