The Secretary of State, being a Minister designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to the environment, makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by that section and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2(3) to that Act.
These 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 references in these Regulations to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 (on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein(4)) and to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006(5) (laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of that Council Regulation) to be construed as references to those Regulations as amended from time to time.
Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 was inserted by section 28 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.
