The Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers are each designatedf1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972f2 in relation to the common agricultural policy of the European Union.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section and it appears to the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references in these Regulations to the following European Union instruments to be construed as references to such instruments as amended from time to time—

Council Directive 92/119/EEC introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular diseasef3;

(b)

Council Directive 2001/89/EC on Community measures for the control of classical swine feverf4; and

(c)

Council Directive 2002/60/EC laying down specific provisions for the control of African swine feverf5.

The Secretary of State, in relation to England and Scotland, and the Welsh Ministers, in relation to Wales, make these Regulations under the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2f6 to, the European Communities Act 1972.

For the Secretary of State, see S.I. 1972/1811, (for the Welsh Ministers S.I. 2010/2690) in relation to the common agricultural policy. The function of the former Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of making regulations under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 was transferred to the Secretary of State by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Dissolution) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/794).

Under section 57(1) of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), despite the transfer to Scottish Ministers of functions in relation to implementing obligations under EU law in relation to devolved matters, the Secretary of State retains power to exercise such functions in or as regards Scotland. Under paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), despite the transfer to the Welsh Ministers of functions in relation to implementing obligations under EU law in relation to devolved matters, the Secretary of State retains power to exercise such functions as regards Wales.
