Section 78YB is amended by regulation 73 of, and paragraphs 2 and 18 of Part 1 of Schedule 21 to, S.I. 2007/3538. There are other amendments to these sections not relevant to these Regulations. In relation to Wales, the powers under these sections were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) and are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers by virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 38). The Secretary of State’s power to act in relation to Wales under section 78YC is preserved by paragraph 5 of Schedule 3 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 for the purpose of implementing obligations under Articles 48 and 53 of Council Directive 96/29/Euratom."
