This Order makes provision for the modification of certain social security legislation, so far as it relates to devolved matters, so as to give effect to the Convention on Social Security Coordination between Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Kingdom of Norway and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, signed at London on 30 June 2023 (“the Convention”). It does so by applying the modifications provided for by article 2 of the Social Security (Iceland) (Liechtenstein) (Norway) Order 2023 (“the 2023 Order”), where the legislation being modified in the 2023 Order relates to a matter which falls within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, and in relation to which competence for the exercise of functions has transferred to the Scottish Ministers. The Convention is set out in the schedule of the 2023 Order.
This Order has effect from the date on which the Convention enters into force in accordance with Article 74 (entry into force) of the Convention. Article 74 provides that the States shall notify the Depositary in writing of completion of their respective internal requirements and procedures for entry into force of the Convention. The Convention shall enter into force in relation to those States which have notified the Depositary, on the first day of the month following the later of the dates on which the Depositary receives the notifications of at least one EEA EFTA State and the United Kingdom. Where an EEA EFTA State notifies the Depositary after this date, the Convention shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the date on which the Depositary receives that State’s notification.
This Order does not impose any costs on business, charities or the voluntary sector. Accordingly, no Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared.
