The Forestry Commissioners are designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to measures relating to the common agricultural policy of the European Union in respect of forestry which apply otherwise than in relation to Wales. They make the following Regulations under the powers conferred on them by that section and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972(3).

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972. It appears to the Forestry Commissioners that it is expedient for the references to the European Union instrument mentioned in regulation 3(b) to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.

S.I. 1996/266; relevant amending instruments are S.I. 2011/1043, 2013/755 (W.90). By virtue of paragraph 53 of Schedule 4 to the Natural Resources Body for Wales (Functions) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/755 (W.90)), the designation conferred on the Forestry Commissioners by S.I. 1996/266 in relation to measures relating to the common agricultural policy of the European Union in respect of forestry no longer applies in relation to Wales.
