M1M2M3The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 15(1), 16(1) and (2), 25(1)(a) and 3, 26(3) and 47(2) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 , as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 .

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety that it is expedient for references to an Article of or Annex to the EU instruments specified in regulation 2(4) to be construed as references to that Article or Annex as it may be amended from time to time.

In accordance with Article 47(3A) of that Order, it has 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 M4, there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
