These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

 

These Regulations make a number of minor, technical amendments to ensure consistency between the below listed instruments and other EU Exit SIs, so as to ensure the effectiveness and continuity of UK legislation, after the UK leaves the EU.

 

·         The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/25).

·         The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/39).

·         The Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/188).

·         The Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/620).
