Made 5 March 2014

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 7 March 2014

Coming into force 28 March 2014

The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972^f1.

The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to measures in the veterinary and phytosanitary fields for the protection of public health^f2.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the reference to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 142/2011 (implementing Regulation (EC) No. 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and implementing Council Directive 97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exempt from veterinary checks at the border under that Directive^f3) to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
