Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 19 December 2018
The Recognition of Professional Qualifications (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 amends the European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualification) Regulations 2015 (“the 2015 Regulations”), revokes the effect of the European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”) in relation to Switzerland, and makes transitional and savings provisions, in reliance on the powers conferred by section 8(1) and paragraph 21 of schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Under the same powers this instrument will also make transitional and savings provisions to legislation concerning school teachers.

In addition, this instrument will update schedules in the 2015 Regulations in reliance on powers in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.
In addition, this instrument will make minor amendments to legislation concerning school teachers, in reliance on the powers in section 132 of the Education Act 2002.
This instrument applies to the recognition of professional qualifications which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
