(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) (Fees) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1177) (the principal Regulations) to provide for the payment and calculation of fees in respect of services provided by the Department of Trade and Industry in relation to the variation or amendment, on request, of an approval of a body for the purposes of regulation 9(4) of the Non-automatic Weighing Instruments (EEC Requirements) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1907) (regulation 2(d) introducing paragraph 2A of Schedule 4 to the principal Regulations). The provision restores payment for these services provided by the Department and increases the fixed fee to £130.00 (an increase of £30.00) from that previously payable (until 1st June 1998, when the principal Regulations came into force) in respect of such services under the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) (Fees) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/798, as amended by S.I. 1995/1376).
Also these Regulations make some minor amendments to the principal Regulations to correct typographical errors in its regulations 2(1) and 5 and in paragraph 2 of its Schedule 2 (regulations 2(a), (b) and (c)).
