2010 No. 2069 (W.191)

FOOD, WALES

The Addition of Vitamins, Minerals and Other Substances (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2010

Made

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales

Coming into force

The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(a), (e) and (f), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 19901, and now vested in them2, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19723.

In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990 the Welsh Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.

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 references to the EU instrument mentioned in regulation 3 to be construed as references to that instrument as Annexes I and II to it may be amended from time to time.

As 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 safety4, there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
