Food, England
Made 7th July 2010
Laid before Parliament 13th July 2010
Coming into force 1st October 2010
The Secretary of State makes the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 16(1)(e) and (f), 17(2), 26(1)(a) and (3) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990, and now vested in him, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
In accordance with section 48(4A) of the Food Safety Act 1990 he has had regard to relevant advice given by the Food Standards Agency.
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 Annex to the EU instrument mentioned in regulation 3 to be construed as references to that Annex as it may be amended from time to time.
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.
