2009 No. 3252 (W.282)
The Food Supplements (Wales) and Addition of Vitamins, Minerals and Other Substances (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2009
Made
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales
Coming into force
The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(a) and (e), 17(1) and (2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 19901.
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.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19722 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for any reference to an Annex to Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements3 to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
As required by Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety4 there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation of the following Regulations.
