The Welsh Ministers have been designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 in relation to measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary fields for the protection of public health.
The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 and by section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 M3.

In accordance with section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973 M5, the Treasury consent to the making of these Regulations.
