The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 6(4), 16(1), 17, 18, 26, 45 and 48(1) of, and paragraphs 1 and 4(b) of Schedule 1 to, the Food Safety Act 19901, section 2(2) of, 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 1972, and it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient for any reference to specified provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1169/20113 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1924/2006 and (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Commission Directive 87/250/EEC, Council Directive 90/496/EEC, Commission Directive 1999/10/EC, Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Directives 2002/67/EC and 2008/5/EC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004, to be construed as a reference to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
So far as the following Regulations are made in exercise of powers under the Food Safety Act 1990, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency in accordance with section 48(4A)4 of that Act.
As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/20025 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety, there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of the following Regulations.
