The Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland and the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland acting jointly shall have the same power to make provision by order for Northern Ireland by reference to the 1991 Order as the Ministers have by virtue of section 30 to make provision by order for England and Wales or Scotland by reference to the 1990 Act.

Subsections (6) and (7) of section 30 apply in relation to an order under this section as they apply to an order under that section.

The duty to consult set out in paragraph (a) of section 30 (6), in so far as it applies to an order made under this section, shall not apply in any case in respect of which the consultation requirement set out in Article 9 of Regulation EC No.178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety, applies.
