Common Agricultural Policy and Market Measures (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Common Agricultural Policy and Market Measures (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Affirmative (made)
Laid: 05 Apr 2019

This instrument amends five EU Exit statutory instruments previously laid by Defra to ensure that:

a) Recent amendments by the European Commission (“the Commission”) to European Union (“EU”) Common Agricultural Policy (“CAP”) legislation are fully reflected in United Kingdom (“UK”) law at the point of EU Exit; and

b) Minor drafting errors in CAP-related EU Exit statutory instruments are corrected before these instruments come into effect.

This instrument reflects the UK devolution settlements and the status quo, whereby the relevant authorities in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales operate the Direct Payments framework (i.e. make payments and enforce the rules surrounding Direct Payments) and enforce marketing standards in the fruit and vegetables sector, within their respective territories.
