Climate Change

The Carbon Accounting Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2010

Made

Coming into force

The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 13(5) and (6), 20(1) to (3) and 96(2)(b) of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 20091 and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722 and all other powers enabling them to do so.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19723 and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for the references to Community instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 96(4) of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009, a draft of this instrument has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament.
