Coming into force
The Secretary of State has been designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19721 in relation to intellectual property (including both registered and unregistered rights)2.
The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations under the powers conferred by that section as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to Community instruments to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
