Commentary
These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8 (1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
These Regulations provide for a number of legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union legislation (in the fields of aquatic animal health and plant health) to be exercisable instead by public authorities (to include the Welsh Ministers) in the United Kingdom so that they can be exercised at a national level after the UK leaves the EU.
Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 22 January 2019 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.
