The Motor Fuel (Composition and Content) (Amendment) Regulations 2001
These Regulations amend the Motor Fuel (Composition and Content) Regulations 1999 (“the principal Regulations”) which implement Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13th October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC. Firstly, these Regulations implement Commission Directive 2000/71/EC of 7th November 2000 to adapt the measuring methods as laid down in Annexes I, II, III and IV to Directive 98/70 to technical progress as foreseen in article 10 of that Directive. They implement the Commission Directive by ensuring that references in the principal Regulations to “the Directive” are to Directive 98/70/EC as amended by the Commission Directive (regulation 2(1)(a)) and make a consequential amendment (regulation 2(1)(b)).
