The Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers are each designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Community.

These Regulations make provision for purposes mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for any reference to the following Community instruments to be construed as a reference to those instruments as amended from time to time:

(a) Commission Decision 2004/453/EC M3 on implementing Council Directive 91/67/EEC as regards measures against certain diseases in aquaculture animals;

(b) Council Directive 2006/88/EC M4 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals; and

(c) Commission Regulation (EC) No.1251/2008 M5 on implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import into the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof and laying down a list of vector species.

The Secretary of State in relation to England and the Welsh Ministers in relation to Wales make these Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, as read with paragraph 1A M6 of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972.
