Commentary
These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
These Regulations amend the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 2001 (‘the 2001 Regulations’) and retained EU law on the marketing of seeds. The amendments made by these Regulations address operability issues so that the 2001 Regulations and retained EU law can continue to function after withdrawal. These Regulations are to ensure continuity of seed supply in the UK.
Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 20 December 2018 regarding the effect of these Regulations. Legal Advisers do not consider that any significant issues arise under paragraph 8 of the Memorandum on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and the Establishment of Common Frameworks in relation to these Regulations.
Legal Advisers have not identified any legal reason to seek a consent motion under Standing Order 30A.10 in relation to these Regulations.
