The Scottish Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 66(1), 68(1), 69(1), 74A and 84 of the Agriculture Act 1970 and all other powers enabling them to do so.
There has been consultation as required by section 84(1) of the Agriculture Act 1970 with such persons or organisations appearing to represent the interests concerned and 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 safety .
1970 c. 40. Section 66(1) contains definitions of the expressions “the Ministers”, “prescribed” and “regulations”; it was relevantly amended by S.I. 2004/3254 and relevantly modified by S.S.I. 2005/605. Section 69(1) was relevantly modified by S.S.I. 2005/605. Section 74A was inserted by the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), Schedule 4, paragraph 6. The functions of the Secretary of State insofar as exercisable within devolved competence were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46). Insofar as not so transferred and insofar as relating to animal feeding stuffs, which are not veterinary medicinal products or specified feed additives as defined in the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2745), the functions were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by the Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/304).
