These Regulations, together with a new Part 11A in the Immigration Rules (HC 395), the Education (Student Fees and Support) Temporary Protection (Scotland) Amendments Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/217), the Further Education Bursaries (Scotland) Direction 2005 and the Education Maintenance Allowances (Scotland) Direction 2005, implement Council Directive 2001/55/EC of 20 July 2001 on minimum standards for giving temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of displaced persons and on measures promoting a balance of efforts between member States in receiving such persons and bearing the consequences thereof (OJ L 212, 7.8.2001, p12) (“the Directive”). Some parts of the Directive do not require implementation as consistent provisions already exist in domestic legislation. A transposition note has been prepared and is published together with the explanatory memorandum for these Regulations on HMSO’s website: www.hmso.gov.uk.
