Guideline 20
Integral-part-annexes are used to set out provisions (or parts of provisions) which expand on or complement the basic-units of the Act.
| 20.1. | An annex to an Act is presumed to be an integral-part-annex, unless stated otherwise. Consequently there is no need to state that the annex is an integral part of the Act. | |
| 20.2. | Integral-part-annexes are used as a means of presenting provisions or parts of provisions separately from the basic-units of the Act, in particular because of their technical nature. Examples might be: rules to be applied by customs officers, doctors, or veterinarians (such as chemical analysis techniques, sampling methods, and forms to be used), lists of products, tables of figures, plans, fees, and drawings. | |
| 20.3. | Where there are practical obstacles to incorporating technical rules or data in the basic-units, they should be put in an integral-part-annex. There must be a clear reference in the appropriate basic-units to the link between those provisions and the annex (using phrases such as ”listed in the Annex” or ”set out in Annex I”). | |
| 20.4. | An appropriate word (such as “Annex” or “Schedule”) must appear at the beginning of the integral-part annex, and it is useful to indicate the basic-unit to which the annex relates (there will often be no need for any other heading). If there are multiple annexes, they should be designated in a way that is clearly distinct from the numbering of the basic-units of the Act. For instance Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.) or alphabetic characters (A, B, C, etc.) may be used. | |
| 20.5. | Although there are no specific rules governing the presentation of an integral-part-annex, it should have a uniform structure and be subdivided in such a way that the content is as clear as possible, in spite of its technical nature. Any appropriate system of designating or subdividing the annex may be used. A table structure should be avoided. | |
