These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 M1.
The Welsh Ministers are designated M2 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the [F1European Union].
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 provisions of [F2EU] instruments to be construed as a reference to those provisions as amended from time to time.
There has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation of these Regulations as required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 M3 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.
Accordingly, the Welsh Minister for Rural Affairs makes the following Regulations.
