Commentary
This instrument addresses failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. It deals with corrections that are technical in nature and do not make any significant policy changes, instead corrections adjust the retained EU Regulations to incorporate new (agreed) terms to ensure the existing EU European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) programmes will continue to be funded for the remainder of the 2014 to 2020 programme, if there is no deal.
Legal Advisers note that the Welsh Government’s statement dated 4 December 2018 does not mention that the instrument also amends provisions allowing programmes currently funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) to continue to receive funding in the event of a no deal.
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.
