EXPLANATORY NOTE |
||
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) |
||
These Regulations transpose Council Directive 2002/56/EC. Because Council Directive 66/403/EEC has been frequently and substantially amended, for reasons of clarity and rationality, it has been codified in the form of Council Directive 2002/56/EC. |
