22.The Scottish Ministers are given a regulation-making power in section 6(3) of the Act to modify the exemptions to the trading offence listed in schedule 2 and to make further provision about trading within event zones. These regulations are called “the trading regulations”. The trading regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure (see section 37 of the Act).
23.As set out in section 7(3) of the Act, the trading regulations may—
	define what activities count as trading,
	designate areas within event zones in which the trading offence does not apply, and
	prescribe what alternative arrangements are to be offered to existing street traders (as defined in subsection (4) of section 7).
24.Under section 8 of the Act, the trading regulations may set out circumstances in which trading which would otherwise constitute a trading offence is permitted. This could be by reference to the person who is trading, the nature or purpose of the trading or the application of any profits. For example, the regulations could specify certain trading activities to reflect the fact that they do not require a street trading licence under other enactments.
