Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 15 December 2010
Coming into force 5 January 2011

The Welsh Ministers in whom the powers conferred by sections 2 and 3 of the Plant Health Act 1967 are now vested make this Order in exercise of those powers and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
1967 c. 8; sections 2(1) and 3(1), (2) and (5) were amended by section 4 of, and paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 to, the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68). Section 2(2) was amended by section 177(1) of, and paragraph 12 of Schedule 4 to, the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2). Section 2(3) was inserted by article 2(1) of, and Schedule 1 to, S.I. 1990/2371.
The functions of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food under the Plant Health Act 1967 (c. 8) were so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the Secretary of State by article 2 and Schedule 1 to the Transfer of Functions (Wales) (No. 1) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/272). Those functions were transferred from the Secretary of State to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1997/672). The functions of the National Assembly for Wales were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by section 162 of and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
1972 c. 68. Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 was inserted by section 28 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c. 51).
This Order makes 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 inserted by this Order into the Plant Health (Wales) Order 2006 to Commission Decision 2008/840/EC on emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the European Union of Anoplophora chinensis (Forster) to be construed as references to that Decision as amended from time to time.
