(This note is not part of the Order)
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, only “designated” Ministers and departments can exercise powers in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) to make orders, rules, regulations and schemes. This is one of a series of Orders by which Ministers and departments are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) in relation to different subject areas.
Article 2 designates the Welsh Ministers in relation to prevention and limitation of the effects of accidents involving dangerous substances insofar as they relate to land-use planning, transport routes or fisheries.
Article 3 provides for territorial restrictions for the Welsh Ministers' designation.
Article 4(1) provides that except for Article 5, this Order does not restrict the scope of designations in other Orders.
Article 4(2) allows Ministers and departments designated in relation to the same matters as Article 2 of this Order to legislate jointly as well as individually.
Article 5 revokes an earlier designation for the then National Assembly for Wales that relates to the prevention and limitation of the effects of accidents involving dangerous substances insofar as they relate to land-use planning policies and consents.
