The European Structural and Investment Funds Common Provisions and Common Provision Rules etc. (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

The European Structural and Investment Funds Common Provisions and Common Provision Rules etc. (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 28 January 2019

This instrument disapplies the common provision regulations on European Structural and Investment Funds insofar as they apply to the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Social Fund (ESF), Cohesion F und (CF), and European Territorial Cooperation (ETC), in order to address deficiencies in retained European Union law as provided for by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. In the event of a No Deal, this instrument also ensures that projects supported by these funds can continue to operate domestically under HM Government’s funding guarantee by including transitional provisions for projects agreed before exit, and by creating a power to pay out the HM Government funding guarantee to relevant recipients for the continued delivery of projects under the cross-border ETC programmes. 

This instrument applies to Structural Funds which are a transferred matter for Northern Ireland as Structural Funds are neither an excepted nor a reserved matter under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
