Made 18 December 2007
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 20 December 2007
Coming into force in accordance with regulation 1
The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations apart from regulations 2(6) and 24 in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(e), 17(1), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990.
The Welsh Ministers make regulations 2(6) and 24 in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
The Welsh Ministers have been designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in relation to measures relating to food (including drink) including the primary production of food.
These 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 to an Annex to Commission Directive 2006/141/EC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae and amending Directive 1999/21/EC to be construed as a reference to that Annex as amended from time to time.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers have 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.
