(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends the Credit Institutions (Reorganisation and Winding Up) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1045) (“the 2004 Regulations”) in the light of the changes made to the administration process in Northern Ireland by the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 2005, S.I. 2005/1455 (NI 10) (“the 2005 Order”). The 2005 Order introduces Schedule B1 into the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989, which thoroughly updates the administration process in Northern Ireland, and applies the new administration to credit institutions in Northern Ireland. It is therefore necessary to amend the 2004 Regulations to ensure the correct references to the administration procedure are made.
The 2004 Regulations implement the Credit Institutions Reorganisation and Winding up Directive, 2001/24/EC and the administration procedure falls within the scope of the 2004 Regulations.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared for this instrument as these amendments are consequential on the changes made to the administration procedure in Northern Ireland by the 2005 Order. A Regulatory Impact Assessment was prepared for the 2005 Order and was placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Insolvency Service Fermanagh House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast, BT2 8NJ or are available at www.insolvencyservice.detini.gov.uk.
Designated by S.I. 2001/3495.
1972 c.68; by virtue of the amendment of section 1(2) made by section 1 of the European Economic Area Act 1993 (c.51) regulations may be made under section 2(2) to implement obligations of the United Kingdom created or arising by or under the agreement on the European Economic Area signed at Oporto on 2nd May 1992 (Cm 2073) and the Protocol adjusting the agreement signed at Brussels on 17 March 1993 (Cm 2183). Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the reorganisation and winding up of credit institutions applies in the EEA by virtue of EEA Council Decision No. 167/2002 (OJ L 125, 5.5.2001, p. 15).
S.I. 1989/2405 (N.I. 19); Schedule B1 to the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 is inserted into that Order by Article 3(2) of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 2005, S.I. 2005/1455 (N.I. 10).
