The Department of the Environment is a department designated^f1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972^f2 in relation to measures relating to the environment.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in that section, and it appears to the Department that it is expedient for references to Annex I to the European Union instrument referred to in these Regulations to be construed as references to that Annex as amended from time to time.

The Department makes these Regulations in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, and paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to, the European Communities Act 1972^f3.
