Details of Provisions
Section 6 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993 provides that a person may be proposed as a member or alternate member for the UK of the Committee of the Regions constituted under Article 198a of the Treaty establishing the European Community only if, at the time of the proposal, he is an elected member of a local authority.
This paragraph provides that in section 6 a reference to a member of the Scottish Parliament is inserted before the reference to an elected member of a local authority. The purpose of the amendment is to provide that a person may also be proposed as a member or alternate member of the Committee of the Regions if he or she is a member of the Scottish Parliament.
