The Secretary of State is designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 in relation to the environment.
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 in these Regulations to an Annex to the Habitats Directive or to the Wild Birds Directive (as defined in these Regulations) to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) M3 of, and paragraph 1A M4 of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972.
