Commentary These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 and section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The Regulations make minor, technical amendments to direct EU legislation comprising the plant protection product and maximum residue level regulatory regimes, in order for the legislation to continue to operate effectively following EU Exit. The Regulations also revoke a series of redundant EU Regulations. Some of the amendments are made in consequence of the change in “exit day” from 29 March 2019, including amendments to EU legislation that has come into force during the extension period. The Regulations also fix errors identified in earlier instruments made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The Regulations apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and do not implement new policy. Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 24 June 2019 regarding the effect of these Regulations. The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect.
