The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by—
except so far as relating to the regulations mentioned in paragraph (b), section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”) M1; and
so far as relating to regulations 5, 6, 10 and 11, sections 1, 7(1), 8(1), 10, 14(1) and 23 of the Animal Health Act 1981 M2.
The Welsh Ministers are designated M3 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the 1972 Act in relation to—
measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary field for the protection of human health M4;
the common agricultural policy M5;
measures in respect of food (including drink) including the primary production of food and measures relating to feed produced for or fed to food-producing animals M6;
measures relating to prevention and remedy of environmental damage M7;
measures relating to the control and regulation of the deliberate release, placing on the market and transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms M8;
measures relating to the assessment and management of ambient air quality and compliance with air quality limit values, target values and objectives M9;
materials providing or intended to provide nutrients for plants M10;
the quality of water intended for domestic purposes or for use in a food production undertaking M11.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for references to EU instruments in regulation 9 to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
There has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations 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 M12.
