The Secretary of State is designated M1 for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M2 in relation to the environment.
These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act, and it appears to the Secretary of State that it is necessary or expedient for certain references to EU instruments, or provisions of those instruments, in these Regulations to be construed as references to those instruments or provisions as amended from time to time.
Accordingly the Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of that Act, and by sections 19, 21, 29(1) and (7), and 104(2) of the Energy Act 2008 M3, as read with paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 to the European Communities Act 1972 M4.C1
