2012 No. 1765 (W.225)
The Food Hygiene (Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2012
Made
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales
Coming into force
The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 16(1)(e) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 19901 and section 2(2) of and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 19722.
The Welsh Ministers have been designated for the purposes of that section in relation to measures relating to food (including drink) including the primary production of food3.
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 any reference to an EU instrument defined in Schedule 1 to be construed in accordance with regulation 2(3) as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
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. 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 of the following Regulations.
