(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make a number of revocations of instruments relating to weights and measures.
Part 1 of the Schedule to the Regulations, which is made in reliance on the powers cited under the Weights and Measures 1985 (and in the case of the revocation of paragraph (19) of Part 2 of Schedule 1 to The Weights and Measures (Packaged Goods) Regulations 2006, section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972), revoke the Capacity Serving Measures (Intoxicating Liquor) Regulations 1988 and amending regulations, as these have effectively become redundant, having been superseded by the requirements of the Measuring Instruments (Capacity Serving Measures) Regulations 2006. It also makes necessary consequential amendments to other secondary legislation.
Part 2 of the Schedule implements Directive 2011/17/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9th March 2011 repealing Council Directives 71/347/EEC, 71/349/EEC, 74/148/EEC, 75/33/EEC, 76/765/EEC, 76/766/EEC and 86/217/EEC regarding metrology (OJ L 71 18.3.2011 p 1) (with the exception of the repeal of Council Directive 71/349/EEC, which was implemented by the Calibration of Tanks of Vessels (EEC Requirements)(Revocation) Regulations S.I.2011/1439). Part 2 of the Schedule, which is made in reliance on section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, revokes provisions which gave effect to those Directives in the United Kingdom. These provisions relate to measurement of cereals, alcoholmeters and alcohol hydrometers, certain types of weights and tyre pressure gauges. Part 2 of the Schedule also revokes a number of other redundant provisions which had been kept in place in connection with the transitional arrangements under other EU legislation in particular Directive 2004/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31st March 2004 on measuring instruments (OJ No. L 135,, 30.4.2004, p1). These include provisions relating to material measures of length, cold water meters and gas meters. The revocations are subject to saving provisions.
