Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, only “designated” Ministers and departments can exercise the powers in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68) to make orders, rules, regulations and schemes. This is one of a series of Orders by which Ministers and departments are designated for the purposes of section 2(2) in relation to different subject areas.

Article 2 designates the Welsh Ministers in relation to flood risk management.

Article 4 provides that the new designation does not restrict the scope of designations in other Orders and allows Ministers and departments designated in relation to the same matters to legislate jointly as well as individually.

A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
