The Secretary of State has been designated1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19722 in relation to measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary fields for the protection of public health.

The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and by section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 19733.

The Secretary of State has carried out the consultation required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 178/20024 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.

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 to the EU instruments referred to in Schedule 1 to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.

In accordance with section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973, the Treasury consents to the making of these Regulations.
