Made 7 April 2008

Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 8 April 2008

Coming into force 30 April 2008

The Welsh Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 10 of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984 M1 and now vested in them M2, and with the approval of the Treasury; and in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972 M3, makes the following Regulations.

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 references to European Community (EC) instruments referred to in regulation 2(1) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
