The Secretary of State is a Minister designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) in relation to the placing on the market, transfer and safety of explosives for civil use.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to provisions of EU instruments to be construed as a reference to those provisions as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations under section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972.
