Coming into force

The Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19721 in relation to the common agricultural policy2 and measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary fields for the protection of public health3.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC4 to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.

The Secretary of State, in relation to England, and the Welsh Ministers and the Secretary of State, acting jointly in relation to Wales, make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 19725.
