1. These Regulations may be cited as the Milk and Milk Products (Pupils in Educational Establishments) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 and shall come into operation on 1st January 2008.
2. The Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954(5) shall apply to these Regulations as it applies to an Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
3.–(1) Regulation 2 of the Milk and Milk Products (Pupils in Educational Establishments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001(6) shall be amended as follows.
(2) For the definition of "the Commission Regulation" there shall be substituted–
