These Regulations, which only extend to Scotland, revoke and replace, with modifications, the Eggs (Marketing Standards) (Enforcement) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”).
The 2005 Regulations made provision for the enforcement of certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No. 2782/75 of the Council on the production and marketing of eggs for hatching and of farmyard poultry chicks and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1868/77 laying down detailed rules of application for Regulation (EEC) No. 2782/75.
The 2005 Regulations also made provision for the enforcement of certain provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1907/90 (O.J. No. L 173, 6.7.1990, p.5) on certain marketing standards for eggs and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2295/2003 introducing detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1907/90 (O.J. No. L 340, 24.12.2003, p.16).
Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1907/90 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2295/2003 have been revoked and replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1028/2006 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 557/2007.
These Regulations therefore make provision for the enforcement or continued enforcement of certain provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2782/75, Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 1868/77 as from time to time amended, Council Regulation (EC) No. 1028/2006 as from time to time amended, and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 557/2007 as from time to time amended.

relating to the authorisation of packing centres to grade eggs (regulation 8);
derogating from the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1028/2006, as regards the marking of eggs for consumption (regulation 9);
varying the minimum requirements for the marketing of eggs as free range eggs by authorising livestock grazing on open air runs for hens producing such eggs (regulation 10);
