Coming into force in accordance with regulation 3

The Welsh Ministers are designated(1) for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (2) in relation to matters relating to the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. In exercise of the powers conferred upon them by that section, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972, the Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations.

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 to European Community instruments in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
