Laid before Parliament
Coming into force

The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to measures relating to consumer protection M1.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for any reference to Annex I and Annexes III to IX to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27th September 2011 on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of the fibre composition of textile products and repealing Council Directive 73/44/EEC and Directives 96/73/EC and 2008/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council M2 to be construed as a reference to those Annexes as amended from time to time.

The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act M3.
