The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(e), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 M1 and now vested in them M2.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M3 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for any reference to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 953/2009 on substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes in foods for particular nutritional uses M4 to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 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 M5 there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
