Fees And Charges
Wildlife
Made 3rd March 2009
Laid before Parliament 10th March 2009
Coming into force 6th April 2009
The Secretary of State, with the consent of the Treasury, makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 56(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1973 as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient for references to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein and to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of that Council Regulation to be construed as references to those Regulations as amended from time to time.
