The Forestry Commissioners make this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 2 and 3(1) of the Plant Health Act 1967(1) and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972(2).
This Order makes provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(3). It appears to the Forestry Commissioners that it is expedient for the references to the European Union instrument mentioned in article 3(e) to be construed as references to that instrument as amended from time to time.
1967 c.8. Sections 2 and 3(1) were amended by the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68), Schedule 4, paragraph 8 and S.I. 2011/1043, article 6(1). Section 2(2) was amended by the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c.2), Schedule 4, paragraph 12. Section 2(3) was inserted by S.I. 1990/2371, Schedule 1, paragraph 1. The powers conferred by sections 2 and 3 are conferred on a “competent authority”, which is defined in section 1(2). Section 1(2) was amended by article 4(1) of, and paragraph 43 of Schedule 2 to, the Natural Resources Body for Wales (Functions) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/755). Under section 1(2), as amended, the Forestry Commissioners are the competent authority for England and Scotland as regards the protection of forest trees and timber from attack by pests.
1972 c.68. Paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 was inserted by section 28 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 (c.51) and amended by Part 1 of the Schedule to the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c.7) and S.I. 2007/1388.
