2014 No. 951 (W. 92)

Animals, WalesPrevention Of Cruelty

The Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (Wales) Regulations 2014

Made

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales

Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19721 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Union2 and make these Regulations in exercise of those powers, and the powers conferred by paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to that Act, and with the consent of the Treasury under section 56(1) of the Finance Act 19733.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references in these Regulations to the Annexes to Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 of 24 September 2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing4 to be construed as references to those Annexes as amended from time to time.
