Extent: E+W

SEEDS, WALES
Made 1 February 2012
Laid before the National Assembly for Wales 2 February 2012
Coming into force 27 February 2012
The Welsh Ministers make these Regulations in exercise of the powers in sections 16(1), (1A), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (5A) 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 Welsh Ministers that it is expedient for the references in these Regulations to the Directives specified in regulation 3(2) to be construed as references to those Directives as amended from time to time.
