2013 No. 233
The Timber and Timber Products (Placing on the Market) Regulations 2013
Made
Laid before Parliament
Coming into force
The Secretary of State, who is designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 19721 in relation to the environment2, makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, that Act3.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for any reference in these Regulations to Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market4 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as the Annex to it is amended from time to time.
