The Secretary of State is a Minister designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M1 in relation to the common agricultural policy M2.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for the references in these Regulations to the SCMO Regulations (as defined in regulation 2(1)) to be construed as references to those Regulations as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 M3 and, with the consent of the Treasury, section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973 M4.
