The Secretary of State is a Minister designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to measures relating to the environment.
The Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the references to—

(b)Council Directive 2006/117/Euratom on the supervision and control of shipments of radioactive waste and spent fuel(4),
to be construed as references to those Directives as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A(5) of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972.
