The Animal Health (Miscellaneous Fees) (Wales) Regulations 2013

Made

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales

Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers are designated M1 for the purposes of making Regulations under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 (“the 1972 Act”) in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Union.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for references to EU instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 M3, the Treasury consent to the making of these Regulations.

In accordance with section 10(3)(c) of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984 M4, the relevant fees have been approved by the Treasury.

The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by—

(a)

section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 M5 to, the 1972 Act;

(b)

section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 M6;

(c)

section 1 of the Animal Health Act 1981 M7; and

(d)

section 10(3)(c) of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984 M8.
