The Welsh Ministers make regulations 2(6) and 24 in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722.
The Welsh Ministers have been designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to measures relating to food (including drink) including the primary production of food3.

In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.F1
