Made 29th January 2019
Coming into operation 22nd February 2019
The Department of Health makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Articles 16(1) and (2), 25(1) and (3) and 47(2)(b) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 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 Department of Health that it is expedient for references to provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/128 to be construed as a reference to those provisions as amended from time to time.
In accordance with Article 47(3A) of the Food Safety (Northern Ireland) Order 1991, the Department of Health has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
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 there has been open and transparent public consultation during the preparation and evaluation of these Regulations.
