The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 M4to, the 1972 Act, and by sections 16(1)(a), (b) and (f) and (3), 17(1) and (2), 26(1) and 48(1) of, and paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to, the Food Safety Act 1990 M5.
M6The Welsh Ministers have carried out the consultation 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 safety .
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for any reference in these Regulations to provisions of EU instruments to be construed as a reference to those provisions as amended from time to time.
