# The Seed Marketing (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Introduction: Introductory text

Extent: E+W+S+NI

Seeds, England
Made 12th December 2011
Laid before Parliament 16th December 2011
Coming into force 6th January 2012
The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers in sections 16(1), (1A), (2), (3) and 36 of the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964, after consultation in accordance with section 16(1) of that Act with representatives of such interests as appear to be concerned, and in exercise of the powers in paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972.
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 the references in these Regulations to Commission Directive 2010/60/EU providing for certain derogations for marketing of fodder plant seed mixtures intended for use in the preservation of the natural environment to be construed as references to that Directive as amended from time to time.
