Plant Health, Wales
Made 16 October 2020
Laid before Senedd Cymru 20 October 2020
Coming into force 13 November 2020
The Welsh Ministers are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”) in relation to the common agricultural policy.
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the 1972 Act and, with the consent of the Treasury, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 56(1) of the Finance Act 1973 now vested in them.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of the 1972 Act and it appears expedient to the Welsh Ministers for the references to the European Union instruments mentioned in regulation 2(3)(b) to be construed as references to those instruments as amended from time to time.
