The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 2(2) of and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 M1.
The Secretary of State has been designated for the purposes of that section in relation to measures relating to food (including drink) including the primary production of food M2.
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 any reference to an EU instrument defined in Schedule 1 to be construed in accordance with regulation 2(3) as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
In so far as these Regulations cannot be made under powers in the European Communities Act 1972, the Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 M3 and now vested in him M4. In accordance with section 48(4A) of that Act he has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 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 M5 there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation of the following Regulations.
