Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which applies to Wales only, amends the Pigs (Records, Identification and Movement) (Interim Measures) (Wales) (No. 2) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/2303 (W.228)), (“the principal Order”).

The only substantive change made to the principal Order by this Order is to amend the date that the principal Order ceases to have effect (from 1st February 2003 to 1st November 2003) (article 2). A defined term (ceidwad) is substituted for an equivalent phrase in the Welsh text of article 3(1).

A regulatory appraisal has not been prepared for this Order.

1981 c. 22. Functions conferred under the 1981 Act on “the Ministers” (as defined in section 86 of that Act) were transferred, so far as exercisable by the Secretary of State for Wales in relation to Wales, to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I.1999/672). The joint functions of “the Ministers” exercisable by the Secretary of State for Scotland in relation to Wales were transferred to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by the Transfer of Functions (Agriculture and Food) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/3141). All functions of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food were then further transferred to the Secretary of State by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Dissolution) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/794).
