Plant Health, Wales

The Official Controls (Plant Health and Genetically Modified Organisms) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2020

Made

Laid before Senedd Cymru

Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19721 (“the 1972 Act”) in relation to the common agricultural policy2.

The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the 1972 Act and, with the consent of the Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 56(1) of the Finance Act 19733 now vested in them4.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears expedient to the Welsh Ministers for the references to the European Union instruments mentioned in regulation 2(3)(b) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
