The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972(1) (“ECA 1972”), makes the following Regulations.
The Secretary of State has been designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the ECA 1972 in relation to persistent organic pollutants(2).
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the ECA 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for certain references to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants (recast)(3) to be construed as references to that Regulation as amended from time to time.
