The Education (European Community Enlargement) (Scotland) Regulations 1994
These Regulations amend the Education Authority Bursaries (Scotland) Regulations 1988 as amended, the Students Allowances (Scotland) Regulations 1991 as amended and the Education (Fees and Awards) (Scotland) Regulations 1983 as amended to reflect the fact that certain of the Contracting Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area signed at Oporto on 2nd May 1992 (Cmnd. 2073) as adjusted by the Protocol signed at Brussels on 17th March 1993 (Cmnd. 2183) will have joined the European Community as at 1st January 1995 while remaining party to that Agreement. In each set of Regulations a previous definition of “European Economic Area” as comprising the European Community and certain specified non-European Community Contracting Parties to the Agreement is replaced with a definition which covers all the Contracting Parties to the Agreement, whether members of the European Community or not. A person’s connections with the European Economic Area are relevant to the provisions of those sets of Regulations regarding eligibility for student support and liability to fees.
