Come Into

http://www.bis.gov.uk/policies/bre/one-in-one-out

"The rule came in on 1 September 2010 and applies to regulations introduced from January 2011. Over the course of 2011, the increase in business burdens has remained at, or close to net zero."

Shouldn't "came in" have been "came into effect"? Could this be an honest error?
