The Welsh Ministers have been designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary fields for the protection of public health.
The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and by section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973(3).
The Welsh Ministers have carried out the consultation required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety(4).
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for references to the Community instruments referred to in Schedule 1 to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
In accordance with section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973(5), the Treasury consent to the making of these Regulations.
