The new paragraph  (5) clarifies the extent o the freezing in relation to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, as provided for in paragraph  (3) of the preamble to Regulation (EU) No.  668/2010.

R&O 86/2010

This Order amends the Education (Discretionary Grants Amounts) (Jersey) Order  2008. It increases the amounts for maintenance costs, for student contributions, for the maximum final contribution in respect of any one student, and for vacation study allowances.

It also amends the formula for calculating the final contribution in families with more than one student seeking a grant at the same time. The resulting change is that, if the figure for the basic income-based contribution is less than £1,000, then that lower figure is applied to each of the students to produce the final contribution. Under the existing Order the lower figure applies only to the first student, and then a full £1,000 applies to each of the additional students.

The Order was made on 19th August 2010 and came into force on 1st September 2010. R&O.87/2010

This Order amends the Education (Discretionary Grants General) (Jersey) Order  2008. It adds provisions for field trip allowances, similar to those for vacation study allowances.

The Order was made on 26th August 2010 and came into force on 2nd September 2010. R&O.89/2010.

This Order sets out a number of road closures and traffic restrictions to enable the holding and viewing of the international air display on Thursday 9th September  2010.

Article 1 allows the Order that is to be amended to be referred to as the principal Order. Article 2 adds definitions of "holiday" and "parking disc".

Article  3 effectively inserts a new Part 4, which deals with disc parking, and renumbers the existing Part 4 and its Articles.

Article  4 removes the references to the roads in question from Schedule  7, which imposes 12-hour limits on parking.

Article  5 adds Schedule  8, which refers to those same roads for the purposes of disc parking. Article  6 names the Order and brings it into force 7  days after its making.
