The following 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 any reference in the following Regulations to an EU instrument listed in Schedule 1 to be construed as a reference to that instrument as amended from time to time.
The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to food (including drink) including the primary production of food.
Insofar as the following Regulations are made in exercise of powers under the Food Safety Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers have had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency in accordance with section 48(4A) of that Act.
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.

(a)paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972, so far as relating to regulation 3(3) and Schedule 1;
(b)section 4(1), (2), (3), (4) and (8) and section 10 of the Healthy Eating in Schools (Wales) Measure 2009 so far as relating to—
