Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 26:
In page 78, to delete line 16 and substitute the following:“(d) by inserting the following definition:Section 2 and the schedules of the Consumer Protection Act 2007 are being updated to reflect the establishment of the new competition and consumer protection commission and to include references to statutory instruments and so on that have been made since 2007. This has associated consequential amendments with an insertion of the defining of relevant statutory provisions, an expansion of the definition of relevant statutory provisions in section 74 to include relevant statutory instruments and the insertion of a new section 79 to refer to the new Schedule 9 of the 2007 Act. The other amendments correct a duplication in the sequence of statutory instruments listed under the definition of relevant statutory provisions and update the list to include a related statutory instrument signed by me on 5 June 2014, namely SI 250 of 2014, the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2014. This statutory instrument is recent and relates to people trading outside their premises and consumers making an agreement not at the normal point of sale. This can happen online, over the phone, by cold calling and so on.“ ‘relevant statutory instruments’ means the statutory instruments for the time being in force specified in Schedule 9;”,(e) in the definition of “relevant statutory provisions”—(i) by inserting the following paragraph after paragraph (a):“(aa) relevant statutory instruments;”,(ii) by substituting “(j) the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 484 of 2013);” for“(i) the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 484 of 2013);”, and(iii) by inserting the following paragraph after paragraph (j):“(k) the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. No. 250 of 2014).”,”.
Amendment No. 28 is a technical assembly of the relevant statutory instruments in order that there is a comprehensive list to which to refer.
