The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, being a Department designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to the environment, makes this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by that section of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, that Act and by Article 28(5) of the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. In accordance with Article 29(3) of that Order, the Department has consulted the Council for Nature Conservation and the Countryside and has given to district councils and other persons affected an opportunity to submit objections or representations with respect to the subject-matter of this Order.

This Order makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department that it is expedient for the references to the list of invasive alien species of European Union concern, adopted by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species, to be construed as references to that list as amended from time to time.
S.I. 2008/301 1972 c. 68. Section 2(2) is amended by section 27(1) of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51) and by section 3(3) of, and Part 1 of the Schedule to, the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c. 7) Paragraph 1A is inserted by section 28 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51). The relevant amendments are section 3(3) of, and Part 1 of the Schedule to, the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c. 7). 1985 No.171 (N.I.2), as amended by the Wildlife and Natural Environment Act (N.I.) 2011 (c. 15) The Council for Nature Conservation and the Countryside (CNCC) was established in 1989 under the provisions of the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 1989. It replaced the existing Committee for Nature Conservation established under Article 5 of the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 O.J. No. L317, 4.11.2014, p.35

This Order makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department that it is expedient for the references to the list of invasive alien species of European Union concern, adopted by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species
<FootnoteRef Ref="f00006"/>
