They amend the Caseins and Caseinates (Scotland) Regulations 1986 and delete from the 2009 Regulations the provision which purported to amend the Caseins and Caseinates Regulations 1985 (S.I. 1985/2026). Those 1985 Regulations do not in fact have any application in Scotland. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business. © Crown Copyright 2010 Printed in the UK by The Stationery Office Limited under the authority and superintendence of Carol Tullo, the Queen’s Printer for Scotland. 4 S C O T T I S H S T A T U T O R Y I N S T R U M E N T S 2010 No. 26 FOOD The Food Enzymes (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 £4.00 35. 02/10. 19593.
