The European Parliamentary Elections (Northern Ireland) (Amendment) Regulations 1997
Paragraphs (1) and (2) of regulation 5 of the European Parliamentary Elections (Northern Ireland) Regulations 1986 applied the provisions in primary and subordinate legislation which were listed in Schedules 1 and 2 to those Regulations for the purposes of European Parliamentary elections, subject to the modifications made by paragraphs (4) to (6) of regulation 5. Paragraphs (1) and (2) were subsequently amended to provide that references in Schedules 1 and 2 to particular items of primary and subordinate legislation which had been subsequently amended were to be construed as references to that legislation, as amended.
