The Chemicals (Health and Safety) and Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 22 January 2019

This instrument is made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“the Withdrawal Act”) to address deficiencies in retained EU law in relation to chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) legislation arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). This instrument ensures that UK chemicals and GMO regulations will continue to operate effectively at the point at which the UK leaves the EU (“Exit”). This instrument does not make any policy changes beyond the intent of ensuring continued operability of the relevant legislation.
