The Secretary of State is designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to the common agricultural policy, and makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 6(4), 16(1), 17(2), 26(3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 and now vested in the Secretary of State, and by section 2(2) of, and 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 the following Regulations to be construed as references to those Regulations as amended from time to time—
(a) Council Regulation (EC) No. 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products; and
(b) Council Regulation (EC) No. 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy.
The Secretary of State has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency in accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990.
There has been consultation, 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, during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
