SI Title	Laid date	Department	SI Summary
Airports (Groundhandling) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/07/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument uses powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) to correct deficiencies in the Airports (Groundhandling) Regulations 1997 ( the 1997 Regulations ) “ which implemented Directive 96/67/EC on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports “ arising as a result of the UK's exit from the European Union. Groundhandling refers to the range of services provided at airports which enable flights to take place, including baggage handling, fueling and refueling, removal of snow and ice and de-icing of an aircraft.
Airports Charges (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/07/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument uses powers under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) to make the necessary changes to the Airport Charges Regulations 2011 ( the 2011 Regulations ) which arise as a result of the UK leaving the European Union (the EU ). It also uses section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 ( the ECA ) to update references to EU Regulations on Air Traffic Management which have been replaced, and to make a correction to regulation 33(1)(b) of the 2011 Regulations. This instrument uses powers under the Withdrawal Act to make the necessary changes to the 2011 Regulations to ensure that the law functions correctly after the UK has left the EU. These changes are necessary because it will no longer be appropriate for the Civil Aviation Authority to assess whether an airport is subject to these rules on airport charges by reference to data from the EU Commission (Eurostat). This instrument also uses section 2(2) of the ECA to update references to EU Regulations on Air Traffic Management which have been replaced, and to correct a drafting error in regulation 33(1)(b) of the 2011 Regulations.
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2018	19/07/2018	Executive Office	These Regulations make repeals in consequence of the repeal of the European Union Act 2011 (c. 12) ( 2011 Act ) and the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 (c. 7) ( 2008 Act ) by Schedule 9 of the European Union Withdrawal Act (c. 16) ( Withdrawal Act ). These regulations make transitional and savings provisions in relation to those repeals. These consequential repeals are needed to remove redundant provisions following the coming into force of various provisions of the Withdrawal Act via the ˜European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Commencement and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2018/808'. These regulations also make consequential amendments to the Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (c. 36); the Laying of Documents before Parliament (Interpretation) Act 1948 (c. 59); and The Statutory Rules (Northern Ireland) Order 1979/1573 (N.I. 12) to reflect the introduction of a new category of retained direct EU law into the UK legal system. These amendments ensure that the normal rules on making secondary legislation and on laying documents before parliament apply to powers and duties contained in retained direct EU legislation. These amendments also provide that normal rules on making secondary legislation apply to instruments made under powers contained in regulations made under the Withdrawal Act. These consequential amendments are needed to make it clear that new powers and duties in retained direct EU legislation and new powers in regulations made under the Withdrawal Act fit in with our existing legal frameworks.
Vehicle Drivers (Certificates of Professional Competence) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/07/2018	Infrastructure	These Regulations ensure that following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union the existing requirements for professional drivers of lorries and buses to obtain a certificate of professional competence will continue to operate in the UK. Currently such professional drivers, with some exceptions, must pass an initial CPC test (unless they have acquired rights), valid for five years, and undergo 35 hours of periodic training every five years.
Feed-in Tariffs and Contracts for Difference (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	23/07/2018	Economy	The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) and Contracts for Difference (CFD) schemes support the deployment of low-carbon electricity generation in GB. Both schemes are funded through a compulsory levy on electricity suppliers in proportion to their share of the GB supply market. The relevant legislation sets out certain criteria which electricity supplied in GB must satisfy in order to be excluded for the purposes of calculating an individual supplier's liability in respect of the costs of the schemes (subject in each case to a cap on the total amount of electricity capable of being excluded for these purposes). In the case of both schemes one of those requirements is for the electricity to be generated in a member State of the European Union ˜other than the United Kingdom'. The UK ceasing to be a member State of the European Union will result in references to the UK as a ˜member State' being out of date.This instrument amends the relevant legislation to remove what would otherwise be outdated references to the UK as a member State of the European Union. These Regulations do not alter the operation of the FIT or CFD schemes or the means by which they are funded and do not impose any new liabilities or obligations on any relevant persons.
Seal Products (Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	24/07/2018	DAERA	The Seal Products (Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 are being made under section 8(1) of, and Paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to amend retained EU legislation and existing United Kingdom legislation in order to ensure that the ban on imports of seal products from commercial hunts will continue to operate effectively after we leave the EU. The minor and technical changes made by the instrument are necessary to ensure that retained EU legislation and the domestic EU legislation enforcing it continues to operate effectively. The changes made to ensure that it operates effectively include the removal of references to the EU , Union and the Commission and replaced with the United Kingdom and the Secretary of State . It also removes references to ensuring free movement within the EU (which will no longer be relevant), Member State requirements to lay down rules for enforcement (which the UK already has in place in domestic legislation), and requirements to report to, or notify the EU Commission of, information on actions taken to implement the EU legislation in the UK.
Public Lending Right Scheme 1982 (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/08/2018	Communities	This instrument amends the Public Lending Right Scheme ( the Scheme ). The Scheme confers on authors a right to receive payments from a central fund based on the number of times their books are lent out by public libraries (known as the Public Lending Right ). The purpose of this amendment is to maintain the status quo and ensure authors resident in the United Kingdom will continue to be eligible to register for the Public Lending Right, as well as residents of a European Economic Area ( EEA ) State, following the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union ( EU ).
Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/08/2018	Economy	This instrument amends the Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations 2003 and the Electricity (Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (together, the GOO Regulations ) in consequence of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU. The GOO Regulations provide for the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (in Great Britain) and the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation (in Northern Ireland) to issue guarantees of origin ( GOOs ) in respect of renewable electricity generated in the UK, when requested to do so by generators. The GOO Regulations also require public bodies in Great Britain and in Northern Ireland (1) to recognise GOOs issued in both part of the UK and GOOs issued in other member States of the EU ( EU GOOs ) unless the public body is requested not to do so by the issuing authority or is satisfied that there is a good reason to doubt the accuracy, reliability or veracity of the GOO; (2) to notify the European Commission if the public body decides not to recognise a EU GOO; and (3) to comply with Commission decisions about whether an EU GOO should be recognised. After the UK leaves the EU, the European Commission will have no jurisdiction in respect of the UK. Accordingly, the Commission will no longer have a role in the recognition of EU GOOs by UK public authorities, and this should be made clear in the GOO Regulations.
Electricity and Gas (Powers to Make Subordinate Legislation) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	05/09/2018	Economy	This instrument partially amends four EU Regulations relating to electricity and gas to correct deficiencies arising from the United Kingdom's exit from the EU. It amends provisions of each Regulation which confer powers on the European Commission to make tertiary legislation, substituting powers for authorities in the United Kingdom to make regulations by statutory instrument.
Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements 2005) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/09/2018	Justice	This Statutory Instrument (SI) has been made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure that the UK statute book is ready, on Exit, to comply with The Hague Convention of 30 June 2005 on Choice of Court Agreements (the 2005 Hague Convention). The 2005 Hague Convention aims to ensure the effectiveness of choice of court agreements made between parties to international commercial contracts. The UK and EU have agreed that during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements, including the 2005 Hague Convention. This Statutory Instrument therefore would only apply in the unlikely event that the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU is not concluded. The UK currently participates in the 2005 Hague Convention by virtue of EU membership, the EU itself having concluded the Convention in 2015 and thus being a Contracting Party. UK participation will therefore cease on Exit. As explained in the Government's ˜Providing a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework “ A future partnership paper' (August, 2017), the UK remains committed to continuing to participate in the 2005 Hague Convention after the UK leaves the EU. This SI is required as part of the UK's overall preparations to achieve full independent contracting party status to the 2005 Hague Convention after we leave the EU and to ensure an effectively functioning statute book. It will underpin the UK's future ability to meet its international treaty obligations by ensuring the smooth continuation of existing domestic implementing legislation relating to this Convention, on and after exit day. This SI will ensure that the rules of the 2005 Hague Convention on the recognition of exclusive choice of court agreements can work effectively between the UK and all the existing contracting parties to this Convention including the EU, Denmark, Montenegro, Mexico and Singapore. It will also ensure that the UK can operate the 2005 Hague Convention with any future contracting parties to this Convention.
International Recovery of Maintenance (Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance 2007) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/09/2018	Justice	This Statutory Instrument (SI) has been made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure that the UK statute book is ready, on Exit, to comply with The Hague Convention of 23 November 2007 on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (the 2007 Hague Convention). The UK and EU have agreed that during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements, including the 2007 Hague Convention. This Statutory Instrument therefore would only apply in the unlikely event that the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU is not concluded. The UK currently participates in the 2007 Hague Convention by virtue of EU membership, the EU itself having concluded the Convention in 2014 and thus being a Contracting Party. UK participation will therefore cease on Exit. As explained in the Government's ˜Providing a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework “ A future partnership paper' (August 2017), the UK remains committed to continuing to participate in the 2007 Hague Convention after the UK leaves the EU. This SI is required as part of the UK's overall preparations to achieve full independent contracting party status to the 2007 Hague Convention after we leave the EU and to ensure an effectively functioning statute book. It will underpin the UK's future ability to meet its international treaty obligations by ensuring the smooth continuation of existing domestic implementing legislation relating to this Convention, on and after exit day.This SI will ensure that the rules of the 2007 Hague Convention on the recognition and enforcement of cross-border maintenance decisions (including for child maintenance) can work effectively between the UK and all the existing contracting parties to this Convention including the EU, USA, Brazil, Turkey and Ukraine amongst others. It will also ensure that the UK can operate the 2007 Hague Convention with any future contracting parties to this Convention.
Merchant Shipping (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	18/09/2018	Infrastructure	The European Union (EU) has regulated in many areas of maritime policy and where necessary the United Kingdom has introduced legislation to give effect to such EU measures. This instrument makes a number of changes designed to ensure that relevant UK secondary legislation continues to operate effectively and does not contain provisions which are no longer required once the UK leaves the EU. The instrument also revokes a number of EU Regulations and Decisions which would no longer have any practical impact in the UK after exit. The instrument also uses powers in section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68) to correct outdated references to the European Economic Area in several pieces of secondary legislation. The updated definition will accord with the definition in the Interpretation Act 1978 (as amended).
Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	01/10/2018	DAERA	These regulations amend the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 to ensure a seamless animals in science regulatory system, following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. Mandatory requirements for the UK to provide information or assistance to the European Commission or Member States are cancelled. These regulations do not create any new requirements for those that operate under ASPA, nor will they create any new functions for the Home Office animals in science regulator.
Trailer Registration Regulations 2018	09/10/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument establishes a registration scheme for trailers and creates offences relating to that scheme. It provides for registration applications, the issuing of registration documents, the display of registration marks and related matters. It also prohibits the use of trailers in certain categories on journeys to or through foreign countries that have ratified the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic unless registered.
Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	10/10/2018	Economy	This instrument: a) revokes Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws ( the CPC Regulation ); and b)amends Part 8 (enforcement of certain consumer legislation) of the Enterprise Act 2002 ( the 2002 Act ) and Schedule 5 (investigatory powers etc.) to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 ( the 2015 Act ).
Rail Passengers' Rights and Obligations (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	10/10/2018	Infrastructure	Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 on Rail Passengers' Rights and Obligations ( the EU Regulation ) contains several provisions that will not be fully effective once the EU Regulation becomes retained EU law following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU. This instrument amends or deletes such provisions of the EU Regulation to allow it to operate effectively once the UK has left the European Union. It also makes consequential changes to three related sets of domestic regulations, the Rail Passengers' Rights and Obligations Regulations 2010, the Rail Passengers' Rights and Obligations (Exemption) Regulations 2014 and the Rail Passengers Rights and Obligations (Designation and Enforcement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017.
Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High-efficiency Cogeneration (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations	17/10/2018	Economy	This instrument amends the Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High efficiency Cogeneration Regulations 2007 and the Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High-efficiency Cogeneration Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 (together, the GOO Regulations ) in consequence of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU. The GOO Regulations provide for the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (in Great Britain) and the Department for the Economy (in Northern Ireland) to issue GOOs in respect of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration in the UK, when requested to do so. Public bodies in Great Britain and Northern Ireland are required to recognise guarantees of origin issued in both parts of the UK, and those issued in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Directive by EU Member States, unless requested not to by the issuing body or where satisfied that there is good reason to doubt the accuracy, reliability or veracity of the GOO. Where a public body decides not to recognise a GOO issued in a Member State, the public body must notify the European Commission and in the event of a refusal the Commission may require the public body to recognise it, under Article 14(10) of the Energy Efficiency Directive. When the United Kingdom leaves the EU, it will no longer be appropriate for the European Commission to be able to require public bodies in the United Kingdom to recognise GOOs issued in EU Member States. This instrument gives effect to this.
Social Security (Updating of EU References) (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2018	17/10/2018	Communities	These instruments update out-of-date cross-references to European Union ( ˜EU') legislation, and ensure that cross-references to EU legislation are up to date on exit day before the European Communities Act 1972 is repealed by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These updates will ensure these cross references then point to the retained version of the EU law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This updating of cross references ensures the UK fulfils its current duty of sincere cooperation, and also ensures that retained EU law functions correctly following the UK's exit from the European Union.
Social Security (Updating of EU References) (Amendment) Regulations 2018	17/10/2018	Communities	These instruments update out-of-date cross-references to European Union ( ˜EU') legislation, and ensure that cross-references to EU legislation are up to date on exit day before the European Communities Act 1972 is repealed by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These updates will ensure these cross references then point to the retained version of the EU law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This updating of cross references ensures the UK fulfils its current duty of sincere cooperation, and also ensures that retained EU law functions correctly following the UK's exit from the European Union.
Mutual Recognition of Protection Measures in Civil Matters (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	22/10/2018	Justice	The Mutual Recognition of Protection Measures in Civil Matters (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 amend Regulation (EU) 606/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on mutual recognition of protection measures in civil matters (the CPM Regulation ) as retained under the EU (Withdrawal) Act and associated domestic legislation to ensure that, post EU Exit protection measures made in EU Member States will continue to be recognised and may be enforced in England & Wales and Northern Ireland.
Timeshare, Holiday Products, Resale and Exchange Contracts (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	22/10/2018	Economy	The 2010 Regulations simplified and expanded measures regulating the sale, marketing and content of timeshare contracts to better protect consumers. The Regulations also extended the scope of consumer protections to encompass new timeshare products emerging on the market as well as the resale of timeshares. The 2010 Regulations apply to holiday accommodation contracts, including timeshare contracts. Traders are required to provide consumers with key information before entering into a contract and the contract itself must comply with certain formalities. The 2010 Regulations also provide consumers with rights to withdraw from and terminate contracts.
Environmental Assessments and Miscellaneous Planning (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	24/10/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument uses powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to make necessary changes, which arise as a result of the UK leaving the European Union, in the following pieces of legislation: The main part of this instrument amends the following: ¢ The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017, S.I. 2017/571 ¢ The Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017, S.I. 2017/572 ¢ The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004, S.I. 2004/1633 ( SEA Regulations ) The instrument also contains amendments to: ¢ The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 ¢ The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 ¢ The Planning Act 2008 The instrument (in regulations 2(3) and 5(3)(a)) also uses section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 to update references. The amendment in regulation 2(3) reflects an amendment to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste. The amendment in regulation 5(3)(a) replaces an out of date reference in regulation 3 of the SEA Regulations to Council Directive 85/337/EEC with Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment. These provisions come into force before exit day.
Consumer Protection (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/10/2018	Economy	This instrument: a)makes amendments to EU derived consumer protection legislation which are necessary as a result of the decision to leave the European Union. This is to ensure that the legislation continues to operate effectively at the point the United Kingdom withdraws from the European Union; b)revokes the EU Online Dispute Resolution Regulation; c)makes amendments to EU derived consumer protection legislation to replace obsolete cross-references to EU law. These out-dated references were in place before the decision to leave the European Union and correcting them now ensures that the law will function properly after exit day.
Inquiries and Coroners (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/10/2018	Justice	This instrument amends references to obligations and enforceable obligations under EU law in the Inquiries Act 2005 and the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, and amends references to community obligations in the Coroners Act (Northern Ireland) 1959, to ensure reference is now made to retained EU obligations and to retained enforceable EU obligations following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. It also amends s43 of the Inquiries Act 2005 to provide a definition of ˜retained enforceable EU obligation' for the purposes of this SI with reference to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Maritime Transport Access to Trade and Cabotage (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/10/2018	Infrastructure	The European Union (EU) has regulated in many areas of maritime policy and, where necessary, the United Kingdom has introduced legislation to give effect to such EU measures. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) will retain such legislation in UK law. However, some changes are needed for the legislation to continue to work as intended. There are also some provisions in the legislation which the UK's departure from the EU makes redundant. This instrument deals with legislation related to market access and regulation for maritime transport services. It revokes legislation which will be redundant after the UK leaves the EU or which creates rights for the remaining member States which may not be reciprocated. The legislation that is being revoked would be retained as UK law by virtue of the Withdrawal Act if no further action was taken.
Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/10/2018	Economy	The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/634) ( the 2018 Regulations ) implement the EU Package Travel Directive (2015/2302) ( the Directive ). The 2018 Regulations protect consumers buying package holidays or linked travel arrangements (LTAs) and impose obligations on the organisers of package holidays ( organisers ) and traders which facilitate LTAs ( traders ): the degree of protection is greater in the case of packages. Those protections include the provision of information to travellers, so that travellers have clear information about their package holiday or LTA and their statutory rights, as well as a requirement that organisers put in place adequate insolvency protection to cover, in the event of the organiser's or trader's insolvency, the refund of payments made by or on behalf of passengers and, if necessary, their repatriation. The 2018 Regulations are being changed to make them to work effectively, for the protection of travellers, after exit. In particular the changes are made because, on EU exit, the UK, as it ceases to be a Member State to which the Directive applies, will no longer benefit from the mutual recognition provisions of the Directive. In consequence, the remaining Member States will no longer be required to recognise the insolvency protection put in place under the 2018 Regulations by UK organisers / traders (requiring them to comply, potentially, with multiple regulatory regimes) and it is also unclear whether the insolvency protection put in place by organisers / traders established in the remaining EU states will continue to protect UK travellers. As a result, the Department does not consider it appropriate to continue to recognise the insolvency protection put in place by traders established in remaining Member States.
Service of Documents and Taking of Evidence in Civil and Commercial Matters (Revocation and Saving Provisions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/10/2018	Justice	This Statutory Instrument revokes Regulation 1393/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 November 2007 on the service in the Member States of judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil or commercial matters (service of documents), and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1348/2000 (the Service Regulation); and Council Regulation (EC) No 1206/2001 of 28 May 2001 on cooperation between the courts of the Member States in the taking of evidence in civil or commercial matters (the Evidence Regulation), once they have become retained EU law. It also provides for the cessation of the rights, etc. deriving from the Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Denmark on the service of judicial and extrajudicial documents in civil and commercial matters (the Denmark Service Agreement) and revokes two Scottish Statutory Instruments relevant to the Service Regulation and two EU Council decisions relevant to the Denmark Service Agreement. It also makes provision for savings and transitional matters.
Heavy Goods Vehicles (Charging for the Use of Certain Infrastructure on the Trans-European Road Network) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	30/10/2018	Infrastructure	The objective of this Statutory Instrument (SI) is to ensure that the Heavy Goods Vehicles (Charging for the Use of Certain Infrastructure on the Trans-European Road Network) Regulations 2009 (the 2009 Regulations) continue to work as before after European Union exit day, for example by removing redundant references to the European Commission, removing requirements which involve the European Union and are no longer appropriate, and converting the maximum amounts for HGV time-based road charges and certain limits on HGV distance-based road charges from euros into pounds.
Accounts and Reports (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/10/2018	Economy	The purpose of this instrument is to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, in the field of accounts and reports of UK corporate bodies. These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of accounts and reports required of certain types of business undertakings, namely companies, building societies, friendly societies, certain types of partnerships, limited liability partnerships and overseas companies (an overseas company is defined in section 1044 of the Companies Act 2006 (c. 46) as a company incorporated outside the United Kingdom). Schedule 1 makes some minor and technical amendments under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), updating some cross-references to EU law before exit day. Schedule 2 amends primary legislation, namely the Companies Act 2006, the Friendly Societies Act 1992 (c. 40) and the Building Societies Act 1986 (c. 53).
Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships and Partnerships (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/10/2018	Economy	This instrument is being made in order to address deficiencies in retained EU law in relation to the Companies Act 2006 and supporting secondary legislation that arise from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (this instrument does not directly address deficiencies in the area of accounting and audit which are being amended in separate instruments). It will ensure that the UK's company law framework will be able to function effectively, providing clarity and a smooth transition for business on and after exit day.
European Economic Interest Grouping (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/10/2018	Economy	This instrument is being made under section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address failures of retained EU law and other deficiencies. It will ensure that any European Economic Interest Grouping ( EEIG ) registered in the UK immediately before exit day has a clear legal identity and can operate effectively on and after that day.
European Public Limited-Liability Company (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/10/2018	Economy	This instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address failures of retained EU law and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It will ensure that European Public Limited-Liability Companies (often referred to by their Latin name, Societas Europaea (SEs)) registered in the UK on exit day have a clear legal identity and a domestic framework within which to operate.
Social Security (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	31/10/2018	Communities	These instruments amend or remove provisions (e.g. descriptions, references) in the UK's social security legislation which will be deficient or inoperable following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union ( ˜EU'). They also amend the Social Security Administration Act 1992 to make necessary consequential changes to the power to implement reciprocal agreements. These are technical amendments in order to reflect the UK's position as an independent state of the EU. The Northern Ireland regulations make corresponding amendments to analogous Northern Ireland legislation.
Fertilisers and Ammonium Nitrate Material (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	01/11/2018	DAERA	This instrument amends legislation relating to fertilisers, addressing failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom ( UK ) from the European Union ( EU ). They also in part amend domestic legislation that is out of date.
Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	01/11/2018	Health/FSA	The purpose of this instrument is to remedy deficiencies in UK legislation relating to tobacco and nicotine inhaling products, or failures of that UK legislation to operate effectively, which would arise from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union ( ˜EU'), in the event of no deal. It also amends one piece of related EU tertiary legislation and revokes four pieces of related EU tertiary legislation which will no longer have any application to the UK after withdrawal. ˜EU tertiary legislation' refers to delegated acts and implementing acts made under powers contained in EU legislation (such as regulations or directives). The instrument is made under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare for all scenarios, including the unlikely outcome that we leave the EU without any deal in March 2019. This purpose of this Statutory Instrument is to ensure that, in the unlikely scenario that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to tobacco control policy and legislation.
Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	06/11/2018	Economy	This instrument is primarily being made using various powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 as well as other domestic powers in the Companies Act 2006, the Companies (Audit Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004, the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 and the European Communities Act 1972. It addresses failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). It will ensure that the framework for the regulatory oversight and professional recognition of statutory auditors and third country auditors in the UK works effectively following the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
Exotic Disease (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	07/11/2018	DAERA	This instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address deficiencies and failures of retained direct EU legislation relating to exotic notifiable disease in livestock to ensure such legislation is fully operable and operates effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. A notifiable disease is one where owners and their veterinarians are obliged to notify the Department of suspicion of the relevant disease.

Genetically Modified Organisms (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	15/11/2018	DAERA	The Genetically Modified Organisms (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 is being made under section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to amend retained EU legislation and existing United Kingdom legislation. This instrument ensures that EU and UK legislation establishing the regime that controls and enforces the movement, release and marketing of genetically modified organisms will continue to be operable when the UK leaves the European Union.
Nagoya Protocol (Compliance) (Amendment) (EU Exit) 2018	15/11/2018	DAERA	The purpose of the Nagoya Protocol (Compliance) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 is to ensure that regulations in the UK which implement the Nagoya Protocol on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilisation, will continue to be operable after the UK leaves the EU.

Blood Safety and Quality (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/11/2018	Health/FSA	This instrument amends the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations 2005 (S.I.2005/50) which operates in the field of blood and blood component safety and quality. It is made in exercise of the powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations 2005 operate as intended following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU), if the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 with no agreement in place. Withdrawal from the EU without a deal would mean that the law in this area will no longer work as it is intended to. This is because it contains a number of references that will no longer be appropriate, such as references to obligations that UK is required to comply with as an EU Member State. As blood is a devolved competence, the legislation is being made on a UK-wide basis with the agreement of each of the Devolved Administrations (DAs) and will ensure continuity of the UK regulatory framework for the safety and quality of blood.
Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/11/2018	Health/FSA	The three Statutory Instruments (SIs) on the safety of organs, tissues and cells, and reproductive cells (gametes and embryos) for treating patients are ˜no deal' SIs. They have been developed as part of contingency planning and will be needed in the event that the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU) in March 2019 with no agreement in place; i.e. a ˜no deal' scenario. Withdrawal from the EU without a deal would mean that the law in this area will no longer work as it is intended to. This is because it contains a number of references that will no longer be appropriate, such as references to obligations that the UK is required to comply with as an EU Member State. Additionally, as the UK and EU Member States will consider each other to be third countries, amendments have been made to reflect this. The SIs are being made under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (referred to here as the EU (Withdrawal) Act). There are three separate SIs: ¢ the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜Tissues and Cells SI'; ¢ Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜HFE SI'; and ¢ the Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜Organs SI'. The SIs are being made on a UK-wide basis. The Tissues and Cells and Organs SIs are being made with the agreement of each of the Devolved Administrations (DAs) and the HFE SI is reserved to Westminster. The SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation. The purpose of the SIs is to ensure that, in the unlikely scenario that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the law in this area will still function properly and the UK regulatory framework for the safety and quality of organs and tissues and cells (including reproductive cells) is maintained. It is proposed that these SIs should be grouped and debated together.
Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/11/2018	Health/FSA	The three Statutory Instruments (SIs) on the safety of organs, tissues and cells, and reproductive cells (gametes and embryos) for treating patients are ˜no deal' SIs. They have been developed as part of contingency planning and will be needed in the event that the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU) in March 2019 with no agreement in place; i.e. a ˜no deal' scenario.

Additionally, as the UK and EU Member States will consider each other to be third countries, amendments have been made to reflect this. The SIs are being made under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (referred to here as the EU (Withdrawal) Act). There are three separate SIs: ¢ the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜Tissues and Cells SI'; ¢ Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜HFE SI'; and ¢ the Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 “ referred to here as the ˜Organs SI'. The SIs are being made on a UK-wide basis. The Tissues and Cells and Organs SIs are being made with the agreement of each of the Devolved Administrations (DAs) and the HFE SI is reserved to Westminster. The SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation. The purpose of the SIs is to ensure that, in the unlikely scenario that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the law in this area will still function properly and the UK regulatory framework for the safety and quality of organs and tissues and cells (including reproductive cells) is maintained. It is proposed that these SIs should be grouped and debated together.
Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/11/2018	Economy	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(b) to (d)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These Regulations make amendments to legislation in the field of cross-border insolvency. These Regulations also contain minor amendments to the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 and to employment legislation in Northern Ireland bringing that legislation into line with EU law. These amendments are made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 21) ( the ECA ) and come into force on the day after these Regulations are made. The EU Regulation on insolvency proceedings ((EU) 2015/848) ( the EUIR ) determines in which member State main insolvency proceedings may be opened and provides that decisions opening proceedings are to be recognised in other member States. Main proceedings may only be opened in the state where the centre of the debtor's main interests, or COMI, is located. Secondary proceedings may be brought in a state where the debtor has an establishment. The EUIR makes other provisions to facilitate the operation of cross-border insolvency proceedings including for co-operation between courts and insolvency practitioners. These Regulations address the deficiencies that will arise from the absence of mutual application of the EUIR. It is not appropriate to continue to apply the EUIR unilaterally in respect of EU proceedings when member States will not apply the Regulation to UK proceedings. There is however a saving and transitional provision in regulations 4 and 5 which continues to apply the EUIR, the previous EU insolvency regulation and the associated domestic law where main proceedings have been opened before exit day. The court may decide not to apply these Regulations in the circumstances set out in regulation 5.
Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/11/2018	Health/FSA	The three Statutory Instruments (SIs) on the safety of organs, tissues and cells, and reproductive cells (gametes and embryos) for treating patients are ˜no deal' SIs. They have been developed as part of contingency planning and will be needed in the event that the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU) in March 2019 with no agreement in place; i.e. a ˜no deal' scenario.

The SIs are being made on a UK-wide basis. The Tissues and Cells and Organs SIs are being made with the agreement of each of the Devolved Administrations (DAs) and the HFE SI is reserved to Westminster. The SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation. The purpose of the SIs is to ensure that, in the unlikely scenario that the UK leaves the EU with no deal, the law in this area will still function properly and the UK regulatory framework for the safety and quality of organs and tissues and cells (including reproductive cells) is maintained. It is proposed that these SIs should be grouped and debated together.
Rights of Passengers in Bus and Coach Transport (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/11/2018	Infrastructure	The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 will convert the text of directly applicable EU legislation into domestic instruments.

It provides for the existing legal regime concerning bus and coach passenger rights (such as accessibility, and compensation for delays or cancellations) to continue to operate in substantially the same manner after as before exit day.
Equine (Records, Identification and Movement) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	20/11/2018	DAERA	The purpose of these Regulations is to ensure that direct EU legislation regarding equine identification and retained by section 3 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 remains operable once the UK leaves the EU. The current system of equine identification is set out in EU legislation, primarily by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/262 (Equine Passport Regulation). The aim is to retain a robust system of equine identification to support high standards of equine biosecurity, enforcement, food safety, fraud prevention, welfare and international trade.
Marine Environment (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	20/11/2018	DAERA	This instrument is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to ensure that UK and EU legislation relating to the marine environment, in particular marine strategy, will continue to be operable after the UK leaves the EU.
Organic Products (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	20/11/2018	DAERA	This instrument amends legislation relating to organic products, addressing failures of domestic legislation and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom ( UK ) from the European Union ( EU ).

The amendments will ensure this legislation continues to operate effectively after EU Exit.
Services of Lawyers and Lawyer's Practice (Revocation etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	21/11/2018	Justice	The purpose of this instrument is to end the preferential practising rights of EU and EFTA lawyers in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. These are provided by a reciprocal European framework consisting of Directives and implementing legislation. The Directives will cease to apply to the UK on EU Exit and the reciprocity on which they depend will accordingly cease. Our instrument will, therefore, revoke the implementing legislation, thereby realigning the position of EU and EFTA lawyers with other third country lawyers. This is subject to transitional provision, to give certain EU and EFTA lawyers the time to make the necessary changes to their practice or business structure to comply with the new regulatory framework.

The CFP comprises numerous EU Regulations which will automatically be transferred into UK law on exit day, by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and will have the status of ˜retained direct EU legislation'. These EU Regulations require amendment in order to operate effectively in UK law after the UK has exited from the European Union, and therefore the CFP. This instrument uses the powers in section 8 of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to make the necessary amendments.

Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	28/11/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument makes the changes needed to retained EU legislation on air passenger rights. These changes ensure that the legislation continues to function correctly after the UK has left the EU and provides continuity for passengers in terms of the passenger rights and insolvency protection regime that applies in relation to air travel. It also ensures that the scope of the enforcement regime in place is consistent with the scope of the retained EU legislation. In addition, the instrument amends domestic legislation made to implement mutual recognition of insolvency protection regimes for package travel between EU Member States under the EU Package Travel Directive.

Motor Vehicles (Wearing of Seat Belts) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	29/11/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument amends domestic legislation on the subject of the compulsory use of seat belts in motor vehicles, to remedy failures of retained EU law to operate effectively, arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. The amendments ensure that child restraints and seat belts approved under the law of another EU member State, and medical certificates issued in other EU member States as exempting a person from the requirement to wear a seat belt or child restraint, continue to be recognised for the purpose of the compulsory seat belt wearing requirements in the UK after the UK leaves the EU. The instrument also amends existing powers and duties to make subordinate legislation for the purpose of implementing Council Directive 91/671/EEC of 16 December 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the member States relating to the compulsory use of safety belts in vehicles of less than 3,5 tonnes (the seat belt Directive), given that implementing a Directive will not be a valid purpose after the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

Ship Recycling (Facilities and Requirements for Hazardous Materials on Ships) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	29/11/2018	Infrastructure	The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 will convert the text of directly applicable EU legislation into domestic instruments. This instrument ensures that both converted EU legislation on ship recycling and ship recycling facilities and existing secondary legislation will remain legally operable when the United Kingdom (UK) has withdrawn from the EU. The instrument corrects a number of deficiencies which will arise as a result of EU withdrawal.
The Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	03/12/2018	Communities	These instruments make minor and technical changes to United Kingdom (UK) pensions legislation to ensure retained European Union (EU) law continues to operate effectively, and to address other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU.

Ionising Radiation (Environmental and Public Protection) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	04/12/2018	Economy	This instrument intends to address deficiencies in the operation of retained European Union ( EU ) law as provided for by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Specifically, this instrument is intended to remedy deficiencies in: ¢ The Justification of Practices Involving Ionising Radiation Regulations 2004 ( the Justification Regulations ); ¢ The Radioactive Contaminated Land (Enabling Powers) (England) Regulations 2005, and The Radioactive Contaminated Land (Modification of Enactments) (England) Regulations 2006 (together the RCL Regulations ); ¢ The Radioactive Contaminated Land Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 ( the NI RCL Regulations ); ¢ The Nuclear Reactors (Environmental Impact Assessment for Decommissioning) Regulations 1999 ( the EIAD Regulations ).
Environment (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/12/2018	DAERA	This instrument ensures that cross-cutting, environmental laws in the United Kingdom ( UK ) function legally after our exit from the European Union ( EU ). It does this in three ways: (1) by amending cross-cutting, environmental Acts; (2) by amending cross-cutting, environmental statutory instruments; and (3) by preventing some EU environmental Regulations and Decisions, which are out-of-date or will have no further function once we have left the EU, being brought into UK law by the automatic operation of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( EUWA 2018 ); together with domestic designation orders as regards England and Wales which are redundant in the light of the amendments to Acts elsewhere in the instrument.
Floods and Water (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/12/2018	DAERA	The Floods and Water (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensure that floods and water legislation will continue to be operable in the United Kingdom after the UK leaves the EU. The instrument addresses deficiencies in retained EU law arising from the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The purpose of the instrument is to preserve and protect the existing policy regime rather than to introduce new policy.
Plant Breeders' Rights (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	05/12/2018	DAERA	As a form of intellectual property protection, plant breeders' rights allow businesses to control seed and other propagating material of new varieties, allowing them to recoup the long term investment in their development. This instrument amends existing UK plant variety rights legislation to address deficiencies resulting from the UK's withdrawal from the EU. It revokes the principal EU Regulation (Council Regulation 2100/94) and implementing EU legislation and where appropriate amends domestic legislation to save EU provisions. This instrument gives effect to Community plant variety rights (CPVR), intellectual property rights for new varieties of plants in the EU, in the United Kingdom provided that they were granted up to two months before exit day (and provides for unresolved CPVR applications at exit). It also provides a framework of protection in part through the application of the Plant Varieties Act 1997 (the Act).
Invasive Non-native Species (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	06/12/2018	DAERA	The purpose of the Invasive Non-native Species (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 is to ensure that legislation relating to the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive non-native species remains operable after we leave the EU and that the strict protections that are in place for these species are maintained. This instrument makes corrections to one piece of directly applicable EU legislation and the implementing and delegated legislation under it, and also corrects an operability issue in the Destructive Imported Animals Act 1932. There is no change to policy.
Airports Slot Allocation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	10/12/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument uses powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) in order to address failures in retained EU law, relating to the allocation of slots at airports in the European Economic Area, to operate effectively and to correct other deficiencies in that retained law arising as a result of the UK's exit from the European Union
Jurisdiction and Judgments (Family) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	10/12/2018	Justice	This instrument, the Jurisdiction and Judgments (Family) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, is made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) to ensure a functioning domestic statute book in the event the UK exits the EU without an agreement in relation to civil judicial cooperation in family law. The relevant EU family law instruments deal with jurisdiction and recognition in matrimonial matters of divorce, legal separation or annulment (divorce etc), parental responsibility (including residence and contact and international child abduction) and family maintenance matters reciprocally between EU Member States and that reciprocity will no longer apply between EU Member States and the UK after exit. This instrument addresses changes required to retained EU law to avoid inappropriate unilateral UK application of these rules following exit, as well as making provision for cases which started before exit day.
Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations and Non-Contractual Obligations (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	10/12/2018	Justice	The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that the European Union (EU) rules that determine the law applicable to contractual and non-contractual obligations continue to operate effectively in domestic law after the UK's exit from the EU. Those EU rules are contained, in particular, in Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations ( Rome I ) and Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations ( Rome II ).
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	11/12/2018	Economy	In the event of a disorderly ( ˜No Deal') exit from the European Union, the UK would not have an agreement in place to continue participating in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). The UK would therefore leave the EU ETS on exit day, making the existing legislation inoperable. The instrument revokes certain provisions that will cease to apply on exit day and amends others so that they will continue to be operable after exit day. This will ensure legal certainty for existing UK participants to the EU ETS in the event of a 'No Deal' exit from the EU. No substantive policy changes have been made in this instrument (this is in line with the powers of section 8 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018). The instrument maintains, and makes technical fixes to, the elements which will continue to be operable, namely the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas emissions. As well as ensuring transparency over greenhouse gas emissions, MRV will also provide information to allow the implementation of HM Treasury's ˜Carbon Emissions Tax' (announced in the 2018 Autumn Budget). The Tax will temporarily replace the lost EU ETS carbon price in a 'No Deal' scenario, maintaining a carbon pricing policy for industry in an interim period (i.e. from exit day until a long-term alternative is established). However, the substance of this interim carbon pricing policy will be included in a power under the Finance Bill 2018-19, which will be debated by Parliament separately, and does not form part of this instrument. The interim policy is without prejudice to any final decision on the UK's future approach to carbon pricing; the UK is considering a range of options, including continuing to participate in the EU ETS, a UK ETS (linked or standalone) or a carbon tax.
Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/12/2018	Justice	This instrument, the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, is made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) to ensure a functioning domestic statute book in the event the UK exits the European Union (EU) without a post-exit agreement on civil judicial cooperation. It relates to cross-border civil and commercial disputes, specifically questions about the court in which disputes should be adjudicated and the recognition and enforcement of judgments. These matters are currently regulated under a series of EU instruments and treaties collectively known as ˜the Brussels Regime', which operate in a reciprocal manner between EU Member States, and that reciprocity will no longer apply in relations between the EU Member States and the UK after exit. This instrument addresses changes required to retained EU law in order to avoid inappropriate or unworkable unilateral application of these rules by the UK following exit, as well as making provision for cases which are ongoing as at exit day. It also repeals the Decision that currently allows the UK to cooperate on civil and commercial matters in the European Judicial Network.
Civil Partnership and Marriage (Same Sex Couples) (Jurisdiction and Judgments) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/12/2018	Justice	This instrument is made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) to remedy deficiencies in EU-derived domestic legislation which is retained EU law within the meaning of that Act. It amends rules on jurisdiction and repeals rules on recognition for the divorce of same sex couples and the dissolution of civil partnerships to correspond to the changes being made in relation to opposite sex married couples by the Jurisdiction and Judgments (Family) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. This instrument also amends the powers to make regulations relating to jurisdiction and recognition to enable the use of the powers after UK exit.
Pesticides and Fertilisers (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/12/2018	DAERA	This instrument is one of a set of three statutory instruments that will make corrections to the EU plant protection product regulatory regime, so that it can continue to operate effectively after the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU). This instrument makes amendments to secondary legislation relating to that regime. In preparation for EU Exit, the instrument also amends domestic legislation to transfer functions under the EU pesticides legislation to the Welsh Ministers. Finally, the instrument updates out of date references and provisions in the Ammonium Nitrate Materials (High Nitrogen Content) Safety Regulations 2003.
Equality (Amendment and Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/12/2018	Justice / Communities	This statutory instrument amends references to the European Union, its laws and institutions in a range of legislation relating to equalities. These references will become redundant when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union on 29 March 2019 and therefore this instrument is required to ensure that the relevant domestic legislation remains clear, workable and fit for purpose after this date. This instrument also revokes two pieces of redundant retained direct EU legislation, so that they no longer have effect domestically after EU exit.
Farriers and Animal Health (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/12/2018	DAERA	This SI makes amendments to the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975, the Animal Health Act 1981 and three pieces of secondary legislation made under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, in order to address deficiencies arising from the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/12/2018	DAERA	This instrument is one of three that will make corrections to the converted EU plant protection product regulatory regime, so that it continues to operate effectively after the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU). The instrument makes appropriate corrections to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 to ensure that after EU Exit, effective arrangements and robust controls governing the level of residues permitted in food will continue to operate in the UK.
Plant Protection Products (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/12/2018	DAERA	This instrument is one of a set of three statutory instruments that will make corrections to the EU plant protection product regulatory regime so that it can continue to operate effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. This instrument makes the necessary amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and other associated retained direct EU legislation to ensure that, after EU Exit, effective arrangements and robust controls currently in place which govern the authorisation of, marketing and use of plant protection products continue to operate. It also transfers legislating powers from Directive 2009/128/EC on sustainable use of pesticides, allowing the future amendment of the annexes to that Directive as they have been transposed into domestic law.
Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/12/2018	Executive Office	This instrument is being made in order to address deficiencies in retained EU law in relation to public procurement arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU), ensuring the legislation continues to operate effectively after the UK leaves the EU. The EU legal framework for the regulation of public procurement by public authorities and utilities consists of a package of directives (the EU Procurement Directives) that govern procedures for the award of public contracts over specified financial thresholds to suppliers of works, goods and services. They are aimed at ensuring that the EU public procurement market is open and competitive and that suppliers are treated equally and fairly. The EU Procurement Directives were implemented for England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (the Regulations). This instrument also relates to certain directly applicable EU legislation in the field of public procurement, such as Regulation 2195/2002 on the Common Procurement Vocabulary that aims to standardise the references used by contracting authorities and entities to describe procurement contracts. This instrument addresses deficiencies in retained EU law that arise as a result of the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. It amends or removes provisions that are inoperable, inappropriate or would otherwise prevent the legislation from functioning effectively after exit day within the meaning of section 8 of European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. For example, provisions that relate to the publication of notices in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) and to the submission of reports to the European Commission (the Commission) would no longer be appropriate because they impose requirements and confer functions in respect of EU entities that no longer have such functions in relation to the UK after exit. These have been removed or replaced with provisions that relate to the functions of ˜domestic' bodies and entities.
Social Security Coordination (Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and Council Regulation (EC) No 859/2003) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/12/2018	Communities	This instrument amends the retained EU Regulations which provide for EU Social Security Coordination (the ˜Coordination Regulations'). The amendments remedy deficiencies arising as a result of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union ( ˜EU'), ensuring that retained EU law is operable in the event there is no withdrawal agreement, and no future relationship agreement.
Social Security Coordination (Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/12/2018	Communities	This instrument amends the retained EU Regulations which provide for EU Social Security Coordination (the ˜Coordination Regulations'). The amendments remedy deficiencies arising as a result of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union ( ˜EU'), ensuring that retained EU law is operable in the event there is no withdrawal agreement, and no future relationship agreement.
Social Security Coordination (Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, EEA Agreement and Swiss Agreement) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/12/2018	Communities	This instrument amends the retained EU Regulations which provide for EU Social Security Coordination (the ˜Coordination Regulations'). The amendments remedy deficiencies arising as a result of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union ( ˜EU'), ensuring that retained EU law is operable in the event there is no withdrawal agreement, and no future relationship agreement.
Social Security Coordination (Regulation (EC) No 987/2009) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	13/12/2018	Communities	This instrument amends the retained EU Regulations which provide for EU Social Security Coordination (the ˜Coordination Regulations'). The amendments remedy deficiencies arising as a result of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union ( ˜EU'), ensuring that retained EU law is operable in the event there is no withdrawal agreement, and no future relationship agreement.
Veterinary Surgeons and Animal Welfare (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/12/2018	DAERA	This SI makes amendments to the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006 in order to address deficiencies arising from the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
Motor Vehicles (Compulsory Insurance) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/12/2018	Infrastructure	This instrument amends various pieces of domestic legislation to deal with deficiencies in the statutory framework for compulsory motor insurance that arise once the UK leaves the EU. It introduces a policy change, required as a consequence of leaving the EU, which is to remove the requirements for the Motor Insurers Bureau ( ˜MIB') to act as a Compensation Body for UK residents injured in road traffic accidents in the EEA, and to reimburse its foreign counterparts in respect of EU27 visitors in the UK who have been compensated by their ˜home' Compensation Body. The remainder of the amendments seek to maintain the status quo and contain no substantive changes of policy.
Common Agricultural Policy (Rules for Direct Payments) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	17/12/2018	DAERA	These instruments amend retained European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to Direct Payments to farmers and land managers under agricultural support schemes within the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ). These instruments will address operability issues created by the United Kingdom ( UK ) leaving the EU to ensure that the Direct Payments legislation can continue to operate effectively after EU Exit.
Electricity and Gas (Market Integrity and Transparency) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	Economy	This instrument (the amending instrument) is one of a package of statutory instruments that will ensure that legislation governing the UK's energy systems will function effectively in the event that the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU') without a withdrawal agreement in place. It makes modifications to Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011 on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (REMIT), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1348/2014 (the REMIT Implementing Regulation) and Regulation (EU) No 543/2013 on submission and publication of data in electricity markets (the Transparency Regulation) in order to ensure that they are operable when incorporated into domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. It also amends domestic legislation which confers investigation and enforcement powers on the energy regulators in relation to breaches of REMIT requirements.
Electricity and Gas etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	Economy	This instrument is one of a package of statutory instruments that will ensure that legislation governing the UK's energy systems will function effectively if the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU') without a withdrawal agreement in place. It amends a range of primary and secondary law, of both domestic and European origin, to address inoperabilities caused by the UK's exit from the EU. Most notably this instrument will remove inoperabilities from the Gas Act 1986 and Electricity Act 1989, which apply in Great Britain; the Gas (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 and Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 which apply in Northern Ireland; and the EU's Electricity and Gas Regulations; which together form the legislative core of the UK's electricity and gas market regulatory frameworks. In addition, this instrument and several other Acts, Regulations and Orders will remove inoperabilities from related secondary legislation and revoke a number of EU regulations and decisions which will become retained EU law.
Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (Markets and Trading) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	Economy	This instrument is one of a package of statutory instruments that will ensure that legislation governing the UK's energy systems will function effectively in the event that the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU') without a withdrawal agreement in place. It amends two retained EU regulations relating to the cross-border trade of electricity to ensure that they will function effectively once incorporated in domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. It further revokes two retained EU regulations on the grounds that they would be inoperable if incorporated into domestic law.
Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (System Operation and Connection) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	Economy	This instrument is one of a package of statutory instruments that will ensure that legislation governing the UK's energy systems will function effectively in the event that the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU') without a withdrawal agreement in place. It amends two retained EU regulations relating to electricity system operation to ensure that they will function effectively once incorporated in domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. It further revokes three retained EU regulations on the grounds that they would be inoperable if incorporated into domestic law.
Gas (Security of Supply and Network Codes) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	Economy	This instrument is one of a package of statutory instruments that will ensure that legislation governing the UK's energy systems will function effectively if the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU') without a withdrawal agreement in place. On 29 March 2019, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 will incorporate directly applicable EU legislation into UK law. In response, this instrument amends five pieces of retained EU law relating to energy to correct or remove inoperable provisions. Specifically, this piece of legislation amends Regulation (EU) No 2017/1938 of the European Parliament and the Council concerning measures to safeguard the security of gas supply (hereafter ˜the Security of Gas Supply Regulation') in order to ensure that it is operable when incorporated into domestic legislation. It also amends provisions of four pieces of directly applicable EU tertiary legislation (collectively, the network codes ), namely Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/703 establishing a network code on Interoperability and Data Exchange Rules ( ˜INT'), Commission Regulation 2017/460 establishing a network code on Harmonised Transmission Tariff Structures for Gas ( ˜TAR'), Commission Regulation 312/2014 establishing a network code on Balancing of Transmission Networks ( ˜BAL') and Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/459 establishing a network code on Capacity Allocation Mechanisms in Gas Transmission Systems ( ˜CAM') (gas transmission systems being the gas pipeline system and associated facilities designed for transporting gas).
Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Amendment and Power to Modify) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	17/12/2018	Economy	The instrument amends secondary legislation which forms part of the United Kingdom's implementation of Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide ( the CCS Directive ). It addresses failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising due to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. The instrument also makes two minor amendments unrelated to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union correcting outdated and incorrect cross-references.
Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/12/2018	DAERA	The Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 makes amendments to three waste-related Acts of Parliament and 14 related EU Regulations and Decisions. This will enable their continued operability as retained EU law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. It also revokes some EU directly applicable legislation relating to waste which it is not necessary to retain in a domestic context because the requirements are already otherwise embedded in UK legislation or will be covered by other EU Exit legislation.
Electronic Commerce (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	18/12/2018	Justice	This instrument is being made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address deficiencies arising in the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 ( the eCommerce Regulations 2002 ) and the Electronic Commerce Directive (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2018 ( the eCommerce Regulations 2018 ) as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union in the event of ˜no deal' EU exit. These regulations, for which DCMS has responsibility, implement aspects of the eCommerce Directive (eCD) into UK law.
Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	18/12/2018	DAERA	The Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 amends 12 domestic waste regulations, which implement different European directives related to waste management to ensure that the waste regime can continue to operate effectively after the UK leaves the EU. The European directives which these 12 domestic waste Regulations implemented are: ¢ Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles ¢ Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste ¢ Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003, Directive 2004/12/EC and Directive 2005/20/EC ¢ Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC ¢ Directive 2006/21/EC on the management of waste from extractive industries ¢ Directive 2008/98/EC on waste ¢ Directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (recast) ¢ Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
Plant Health (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/12/2018	DAERA	The Plant Health (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 correct deficiencies in domestic legislation which implements EU Directive 2000/29/EC on measures to protect plant health and in retained direct EU legislation relating to plant health arising in consequence of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU in a ˜no deal' scenario.
Recognition of Professional Qualifications (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	19/12/2018	Economy	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. These changes are being made to address deficiencies arising as a consequence of the United Kingdom's (UK's) withdrawal from the European Union (EU). 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.
European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018	20/12/2018	Health/FSA	The European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 amend various pieces of legislation concerned with the regulation of health and care professionals (see Part 3 of the Annex) and make transitional and savings provisions in respect of certain applications and notifications in reliance on the powers conferred by section 8(1) and paragraph 21 of schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These changes are being made to address deficiencies arising as a consequence of the United Kingdom's (UK) withdrawal from the European Union (EU).
Environment and Wildlife (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	08/01/2019	DAERA	This instrument transfers a series of legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union ( EU ) legislation upon the European Commission ( the Commission ), to be exercisable instead by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ), so that they can be exercised at national level after the UK leaves the EU. The EU Regulations concerned cover persistent organic pollutants ( POPs ); timber; the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register; transfrontier shipments of waste; the Nagoya Protocol on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits; mercury; leghold traps; and the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species ( CITES ). This instrument also concerns one legislative function contained in a Directive relating to industrial emissions. In each case, the legislative function is conferred upon the Commission so that it can develop the technical details of the specific regime, without the frequent need to refer back to the EU Council and EU Parliament. Examples of these functions include specifying forms to be used, amending technical annexes to reflect advances in scientific and technical knowledge, and updating annexes to reflect international agreements. This instrument does not make changes to substantive policy content. It provides for the legislative function in each case to be exercisable by the appropriate UK authority. This is to ensure that the regimes continue to function smoothly, without the need for primary legislation every time a change in technical matters is required. The regimes will continue to function in a similar way to how they did previously. This instrument changes the identity of the bodies carrying out the specified functions and converts the EU procedures to UK procedures as appropriate.
Drivers' Hours and Tachographs (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/01/2019	Infrastructure	This instrument uses existing powers under the European Communities Act 1972 ( the ECA ) to fully implement the obligations of the United Kingdom (UK) under European Union law in the field of drivers' hours and tachographs for the carriage of goods and passengers by road and under the European Agreement concerning the Work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in the International Road Transport of 1 July 1970, as amended ( the AETR ), which must be addressed before the point at which the UK leaves the European Union (EU) ( Exit Day ). The obligations being implemented are further set out in sections 6 and 7 of this document. This instrument remedies deficiencies in domestic law and retained EU law arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, in the field of drivers' hours and tachographs. In particular it reflects the fact that the AETR will be the relevant international legal framework for road transport operations between the UK and the EU from Exit Day.
Law Enforcement and Security (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	15/01/2019	Justice	The purpose of the instrument ( ˜the Regulations') is to ensure that that the United Kingdom's (UK's) statute book continues to function effectively in the area of security, law enforcement and criminal justice, and regulatory measures in scope of the Regulations should the UK leave the European Union (EU) without an agreement in March 2019. The Regulations will address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively or address other legislative deficiencies arising from the UK's withdrawal from the EU. This will provide legal and operational certainty. For extradition, the Regulations will provide the legislative underpinning for the UK to transition its cooperation with Member States to a non-EU mechanism.
Nutrition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	16/01/2019	Health/FSA	The purpose of this instrument is to remedy deficiencies in UK legislation relating to nutrition, arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU) in the event that the UK leaves without a deal having been agreed. The subject areas covered by this nutrition legislation are: nutrition and health claims made on foods; the addition of vitamins, minerals and certain other substances to foods; composition and labelling of food supplements; the composition and labelling of food for specific groups; and the sale of products containing Kava-kava. This Statutory Instrument amends existing domestic, and retained EU, legislation as well as revoking some pieces of related EU tertiary legislation which will no longer have any application to the UK after withdrawal. ˜EU tertiary legislation' refers to delegated acts and implementing acts made under powers contained in EU legislation (such as Regulations or Directives). The instrument is made under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Aquatic Animal Health and Alien Species in Aquaculture (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	17/01/2019	DAERA	This instrument covers nine pieces of directly applicable EU legislation in the fields of aquatic animal health and the use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture. The majority of these relate to aquatic animal health and, together with Council Directive 2006/88/EC, establish an EU-wide biosecurity framework for fish and shellfish diseases. Council Directive 2006/88/EC sets out requirements for: bringing to the market aquaculture animals and their products; disease control measures; importation; and health certification. The Directive is transposed in England and Wales by the Aquatic Animal Health (England and Wales) Regulations 2009. The Department is bringing forward a separate instrument (the Aquatic Animal Health and Alien Species in Aquaculture (England and Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018) to amend these Regulations and this is covered in a separate Explanatory Memorandum. The draft Regulations, as originally laid for sifting, were cleared to proceed as a negative instrument, but needed to be amended and relaid to ensure that quarantine requirements apply in relation to imports of aquatic animals from EU27 as well as third countries. As previously drafted, the SI did not include provision for quarantine for imports from EU27.
Animals (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	21/01/2019	DAERA	This instrument provides for a series of legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union ( EU ) legislation upon the European Commission ( the Commission ) to be exercisable instead by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ), so that they can be exercised at national level after the UK leaves the EU. The EU Regulations concerned cover animal health and welfare. The powers were provided to the European Commission through directly applicable European Regulations agreed with the member states. In each case, the legislative function is conferred upon the Commission so that it can develop the technical details of the specific regime, without the frequent need to refer back to the EU Council and Parliament. Examples of these functions include specifying forms to be used and amending technical annexes. This instrument does not make changes to substantive policy content. It provides for the legislative function in each case to be exercisable by UK authorities. This is to ensure that the regimes continue to function smoothly, without the need for primary legislation every time a change to technical matters is required. Without establishing powers we would be unable to bring forward measures which the European Commission currently has authority to do on behalf of member states. The regimes will continue to function in a similar way to how they did previously. This instrument changes the identity of the bodies carrying out the specified functions and converts the EU procedures to UK procedures as appropriate.
Aquatic Animal Health and Plant Health (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	21/01/2019	DAERA	This instrument provides for a number of legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union ( EU ) legislation upon the European Commission ( the Commission ) to be exercisable instead by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ), so that they can be exercised at national level after the UK leaves the EU. The EU Directives concerned cover aquatic animal health and plant health. The powers were conferred on the European Commission by Council Directive 2006/88/EC on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (OJ No. L 328, 24.11. 2006) ( Directive 2006/88/EC ) and Council Directive 2000/29/EC on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread in the Community (OJ No. L 169, 10.7.2000, p.1) ( Directive 2000/29/EC ). The legislative functions were conferred upon the Commission to enable it to develop the technical details of the specific regimes, without the frequent need to refer back to the EU Council and Parliament. Examples of these functions include amending technical annexes containing diseases and pests. This instrument does not make changes to substantive policy content. It provides for the legislative function in each case to be exercisable by UK authorities. This is to ensure that the relevant regimes continue to function smoothly and can be updated to reflect changes in disease and pest risks. This instrument confers functions on UK authorities which are equivalent to various legislative functions exercisable by the European Commission in relation to EU aquatic animal health and plant health legislation and converts the EU procedures to appropriate UK procedures.
Chemicals (Health and Safety) and Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	21/01/2019	Economy	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.
Public Record, Disclosure of Information and Co-operation (Financial Services) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	21/01/2019	Economy	This instrument is being made in order to address deficiencies in UK domestic legislation and retained EU law in relation to the disclosure of confidential information arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom ( UK ) from the European Union ( EU ) ensuring that the legislation continues to operate effectively at the point at which the UK leaves the EU. Specifically, this instrument amends Part 23 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ( FSMA ) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Disclosure of Confidential Information) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/2188) ( the Disclosure Regulations ) which set out the gateways for disclosing confidential information within the UK, to EEA regulatory authorities and to third-country regulatory authorities. The instrument also amends UK legislation that applies the Disclosure Regulations, in a modified form, to different financial services regimes. In addition, the instrument amends retained direct EU legislation. The amendments ensure that confidential information can continue to be disclosed by UK regulators from exit day. The instrument also makes amendments to correct some minor errors in domestic legislation which do not arise from withdrawing from the EU, and are therefore made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972, section 349 of FSMA and section 92 of the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013.
UK Statistics (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	25/01/2019	Economy	This instrument addresses deficiencies in retained EU law relating to statistics arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It is made under section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the 2018 Act ), the majority of the law it addresses having been retained under section 3 of the same Act. In particular, this instrument: ¢ Amends the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 to replace references to EU law with references to the appropriate equivalent retained EU law; ¢ Amends one Act and four statutory instruments so that their references to certain European standards continue to refer to the EU, rather than the retained EU law, version of those standards; and ¢ Revokes the majority of the retained direct EU legislation that (a) sets out the EU architecture for the production by Member States, and transmission to Eurostat of statistical data and (b) establishes standards and technical classifications with respect to certain statistical data (together, EU statistics law ), together with relevant equivalent law in the retained EEA agreement.
Railway (Licensing of Railway Undertakings) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	28/01/2019	Infrastructure	This statutory instrument corrects deficiencies in the Railway (Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2005 (SI 2005/3050) ( 2005 Regulations ) arising from the UK's exit from the European Union. It will also revoke Regulation (EU) 2015/171 which will become redundant after exit day. It is being made to ensure that the 2005 Regulations continue to operate effectively in the event of the UK leaving the European Union without an agreed deal with the EU. After exit day the 2005 Regulations will not be able to operate effectively unless the references they contain to Europe and European Union institutions are corrected. Most of the deficiencies that need to be corrected are minor and technical. The most significant change is to rename the European licence “ it will in future be known as the railway undertaking licence . Other changes are mostly to remove references and obligations to provide information to European Union institutions, such as the European Railway Agency. Regulation (EU) 2015/171 will become redundant after exit day either because the procedures it sets out have already been adopted into the UK licensing regime or because they will no longer be relevant after the UK leaves the EU (e.g. providing information to the European Commission). It is therefore being revoked. This instrument will enable the legal framework for train operator licensing in Great Britain provided for in the 2005 Regulations to continue after exit day. Operators that hold licences issued by the ORR will not need to take any action. Operator licences do not expire, so these licences will continue to be valid in GB indefinitely. However, ORR issued licences will no longer be valid in EEA Member States after exit day. Any operators who intend to operate in an EEA Member State would have to apply for a licence from a licensing authority in an EEA Member State. Operators that provide train services in Great Britain and hold a licence issued by an EEA Member State other than the ORR will not need to take any immediate action. The instrument provides for those licences to continue to be recognised in Great Britain for two years after exit day. At the end of that two-year period any affected operators will require a licence issued by the ORR to continue to operate legally in Great Britain (there is currently only one such operator, Europorte Channel SAS, a freight operator). This position was set out in a rail technical notice issued in October. No other requirements of the licensing regime under the 2005 Regulations will be changed. This instrument does not provide for the long-term, mutual recognition of operator licences issued by EEA-member states and held by cross-border service operators (e.g. services which operate through the Channel Tunnel). Mutual recognition of these licences is contingent on any future bilateral agreements with Member States. The UK Government is engaging with a range of European counterparts, including member states, to discuss cross-border services once the UK leaves the EU.
The Conservation of Habitats and Species (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	28/01/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes changes to the three existing instruments which transpose the Habitats and Wild Birds Directives so that they continue to work (are operable) upon the UK's exit from the European Union (EU). The existing instruments are: The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017; The Conservation of Offshore Marine Habitats and Species Regulations 2017; and The Offshore Petroleum Activities (Conservation of Habitats) Regulations 2001. This instrument also amends section 27 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to ensure existing protections continue.
Contaminants in Food (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Food Standards Agency	Currently, the contaminants in food legislation is set by the EU and is implemented in the UK by statutory instruments. The Contaminants in Food (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the instrument) fixes inoperabilities in the retained EU legislation on contaminants in food (as listed in para 6.2) so that it will continue to be applicable as domestic law and ensure continued safety of food after the UK has left the EU. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to the Contaminants in Food policy and legislation.
General Food Hygiene (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Food Standards Agency	The General Food Hygiene (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) are being made principally to fix inoperabilities in Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 that will arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union. The fixes being made to Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 by way of this instrument will help to maintain the continued safety of food through the maintenance of requirements for hygienic practices from primary production through all stages of food production to the final consumer. This instrument also fixes the inoperability of certain other retained, related EU Regulations. These are Regulation (EU) No. 579/2014, Regulation (EC) No. 2073/2005 and Regulation (EU) No. 2017/2158. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to General Food Hygiene policy and legislation.
General Food Law (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Food Standards Agency	The General Food Law (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) amends Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 which provides the basic principles underpinning food safety. The instrument also amends Regulation No. 931/2011, that implements Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002, in order that it can be retained in an operable form after EU Exit. This instrument also revokes Regulation (EU) No. 16/2011 which concerns EU Member State responsibilities under the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed ( RASFF ); unless negotiated otherwise the UK will not retain access to that system post Exit. Finally, the instrument makes minor amendments to ensure continued operability of domestic enforcing regulations in England, the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013 ( 2013 Regulations ). The instrument designates responsibilities currently incumbent on the European Food Safety Authority ( EFSA , the body that provides scientific advice on food to the European Commission, the European Parliament and EU Member States) to the ˜Food Safety Authority' (i.e. the Food Standards Agency ( FSA ) in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Food Standards Scotland ( FSS ) or other devolved administration organisations able to take up this role subject to further agreement) and designates responsibilities incumbent on the European Commission to Ministers in the four UK countries. This instrument amends the 2013 Regulations to ensure they are operable after EU exit, so that Schedule 1 of those regulations gives effect to amendments to the Annexes of retained EU instruments listed in that schedule and also to ensure that the legislative references of specific provisions in its Schedule 2 are suitably updated. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to General Food Law policy and legislation.
International Accounting Standards and European Public Limited-Liability Company (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Economy	The purpose of this instrument is to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, in the field of accounts and reports of UK corporate bodies, to make some consequential amendments and transitional provision as a result of the European Public Limited-Liability Company (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1298), and to make minor corrections to two EU Exit statutory instruments.
Quick-frozen foodstuffs (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Quick-frozen Foodstuffs (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 fix the inoperability of retained EU law on the monitoring of temperatures in the means of transport, warehousing and storage of quick-frozen foodstuffs intended for human consumption. The instrument also amends The Quick-frozen Foodstuffs (England) Regulations 2007.
Specific Food Hygiene (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	31/01/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Specific Food Hygiene (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) is being made to fix the inoperabilities of retained EU legislation which arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union. The instrument fixes the inoperabilities of Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004 that lays down specific hygiene measures for the production and processing of certain food products of animal origin and Regulation (EC) No. 854/2004 that lays down the corresponding official controls. The instrument also fixes the inoperabilities of Regulation (EU) No. 101/2013, Regulation (EU) No. 2015/1474, and Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1978, which either provide additional requirements for specific hygiene purposes or amend existing requirements. This instrument revokes Regulation (EU) No. 636/2014 concerning unskinned large wild game. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to Specific Food Hygiene policy and legislation.
Food and Feed (Chernobyl and Fukushima Restrictions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	04/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Food and Feed (Chernobyl and Fukushima Restrictions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the instrument) are being made to fix inoperabilities in the retained EU legislation on special conditions for the import of food and feed that have been affected by nuclear accidents at Chernobyl, Ukraine and Fukushima, Japan (as listed in paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4) that will arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union (EU). This instrument is a legislative consequence of the UK's decision to leave the European Union, which will also result in our departure from the European Atomic Energy Community ( the Euratom Treaty ). The Euratom Treaty covers civil nuclear policy and legislation across the EU including emergency response to nuclear incidents. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to the Food and Feed (Chernobyl and Fukushima Restrictions) policy and legislation.
Food and Feed (Maximum Permitted Levels of Radioactive Contamination) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	04/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Food and Feed (Maximum Permitted Levels of Radioactive Contamination) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) are being made to fix inoperabilities in the retained EU legislation, Council Regulation (Euratom) 2016/52 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of food and feed following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency, that will arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union. This instrument is a legislative consequence of the UK's decision to leave the European Union, which will also result in our departure from the European Atomic Energy Community ( the Euratom Treaty ). The Euratom Treaty covers civil nuclear policy and legislation across the EU including emergency response to nuclear incidents.
Genetically Modified Food and Feed (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	04/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Genetically Modified Food and Feed (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 are being made under Section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure the effective functioning of retained EU law concerning genetically modified (GM) food and animal feed ( ˜feed') in the UK after EU Exit. The instrument amends the following retained EU law to correct deficiencies that arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the EU: Regulation (EC) No. 1829/2003 (framework regulation on genetically modified food and feed); Commission Regulation (EC) No 641/2004 (detailed rules on applications for authorisation of new GM food and feed and adventitious or technically unavoidable presence of authorised GM material, and 68 Commission Decisions authorising GM food and/or feed events for placing on the market, or withdrawing such authorisations and providing transitional arrangements which will be extant when the UK exits the EU. The instrument also revokes Commission Regulation (EC) No 1981/2006 (detailed rules regarding the Community reference laboratory for GM organisms) which will become redundant when the UK exits the EU. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to GM Food and Feed policy and legislation.
Official Controls for Feed, Food and Animal Health and Welfare (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	04/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Official Controls for Feed, Food and Animal Health and Welfare (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) amends retained EU law and domestic legislation relating to official controls on food and feed to ensure its operability following the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union (EU). It is intended to protect public health, animal health and animal welfare whilst providing continuity for business operators and trade. Official controls legislation sets rules and operational standards for the verification of food and feed law by competent authorities in the United Kingdom such as the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). This instrument amends references to EU institutions and systems in order that the legislation is operable in the United Kingdom following our departure from the EU. The instrument amends EU law in the form of directly applicable Regulation (EC) No. 882/2004, Regulation (EU) No 2017/625, Commission Decision 2006/677/EC and Commission Decision 2008/654/EC. It also amends two pieces of implementing domestic legislation which apply to England only, the Meat (Official Controls Charges) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 1574) and the Official Feed and Food Controls (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 3255).
Animal Feed (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Animal Feed (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) are being made to fix inoperabilities in the retained EU legislation on animal feed; namely Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 183/2005, Regulation (EC) No 378/2005, Regulation (EC) No 429/2008, Regulation (EC) No 152/2009, Regulation (EC) No 767/2009, Regulation, Regulation (EU) No. 892/2010, (EC) No 619/2011, Regulation (EC) No. 68/2013, and Regulation (EU) No 2015/786 that will arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union (EU). This instrument is a legislative consequence of the UK's decision to leave the EU and will apply from day 1 of withdrawal from the EU in order to ensure the continued safety of animal feed. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to food and feed (animal feed) policy and legislation.
Food Additives, Flavourings, Enzymes and Extraction Solvents (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Food Additives, Flavourings, Enzymes and Extraction Solvents (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (hereon after referred to as ˜this instrument') fixes inoperabilities in the retained EU legislation on food additives, flavourings, enzymes, extraction solvents and processing aids which are collectively referred to as food improvement agents. The amendments in this instrument are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to enable the regulatory requirements applicable to these substances to operate effectively as domestic legislation after the UK has left the EU. This instrument amends the Food Additives, Flavourings, Enzymes and Extraction Solvents (England) Regulations 2013 which provides for the enforcement in England of the regulatory requirements for food improvement agents, with similar legislation enacted across Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. It will also amend eleven EU Regulations (as listed at para 6.2) that provide the detailed rules for these substances. This instrument will also revoke Regulation (EU) No 257/2010 which provides for the establishment of an ongoing programme of re-evaluation of food additives that were approved prior to 2009. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to food improvement agents, policy and legislation.
Food and Feed Imports (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Food and Feed Imports (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the ˜instrument') amends European legislation relating to import controls on food and feed, from outside of the United Kingdom (UK), to ensure its operability following the UK's departure from the European Union (EU). Imports legislation sets rules for the verification of food and feed law by competent authorities in the UK such as the Food Standards Agency (FSA). This instrument amends references to European institutions and systems in order that the legislation is operable in the UK following our departure from the EU. It is intended to provide continuity for operators and trade whilst protecting public health.
Licensing of Operators and International Road Haulage (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Infrastructure	The licensing of road haulage operators and the market for international road haulage are regulated by EU Regulations (EC) 1071/2009 and 1072/2009 and related domestic legislation respectively. This instrument remedies deficiencies in retained EU law and makes consequential amendments to related domestic legislation arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. In particular, this instrument reflects the fact that the UK will not be able to issue ˜Community licences' after it has left the EU by providing for broadly equivalent and adaptable arrangements for hauliers operating between the UK and Member States after Exit day.
Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) are being made to fix inoperabilities in the retained EU Legislation on food contact material legislation; namely European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 ( the Framework Regulation ) on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, Regulation (EC) No. 450/2009, Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011, Regulation (EC) No. 282/2008, Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006, Regulation (EC) No. 1895/2005 and Regulation (EU) No. 2018/213 that will arise as a consequence of the UK's exit from the European Union (EU). This instrument is a legislative consequence of the UK's decision to leave the EU and will apply from Exit day in order to ensure the continued safety of materials and articles in contact with food. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to food and feed (materials and articles in contact with food) policy and legislation.
Sprouts and Seeds (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/02/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Sprouts and Seeds (Amendment)(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) is being made to fix the inoperabilities of retained EU law, namely Regulation (EU) No 208/2013, Regulation (EU) No. 210/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 211/2013 ( the Regulations ) to ensure the continued safety of sprouts and seeds intended for sprouting supplied on the UK market. As a responsible government, we will continue to proportionately prepare to ensure readiness on exit day in all scenarios. The purpose of this instrument therefore, is to ensure that there will continue to be a functioning statute book on exit day which maintains continuity in relation to the Sprouts and Seeds legislation.
Aviation Noise (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	11/02/2019	Infrastructure	This instrument uses powers under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) to make the necessary changes to the Aeroplane Noise Regulations 1999 ( the Noise Regulations ), the Air Navigation (Environmental Standards for Non-EASA Aircraft) Order 2008 ( the Environmental Standards Order ), the Airports (Noise-related Operating Restrictions) (England and Wales) Regulations 2018 ( the Operating Restrictions Regulations ) and Regulation (EU) No 598/2014 ( Regulation 598 ), to correct deficiencies arising as a result of the UK leaving the European Union ( the EU ). These changes ensure that the legal framework relating to aviation noise continues to function correctly after the UK leaves the EU.
Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	11/02/2019	Executive Office	This instrument is being made in order to amend the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 before they come into effect in such a way as to preserve in domestic law, for a time-limited period of 18 months, the duties which United Kingdom (UK) contracting authorities and other contracting entities currently owe towards economic operators from countries with which the European Union (EU) has, before exit day, concluded a trade agreement by which it is bound. 2.2 In doing so, the UK will be able to demonstrate that it is able to comply with the procurement obligations arising from those EU-third country trade agreements which the UK intends to ˜transition' to apply to the UK as an independent party following EU Exit.
Social Security Coordination (Reciprocal Healthcare) (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	11/02/2019	Health/FSA	This Statutory Instrument affords the UK a mechanism for ensuring there is no interruption to healthcare arrangements for UK-insured individuals after exit day in those Member States who agree to maintain the current arrangements for an interim period. Through this instrument, the UK can transitionally maintain the current EU reciprocal healthcare arrangements for countries where we have established reciprocity until 31 December 2020. The instrument extinguishes healthcare arrangements with Member States who do not agree to transitionally maintain the current reciprocal arrangements with the UK, with the exception of the savings protecting the position of patients in the course of treatment.
Train Driving Licences and Certificates (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	11/02/2019	Infrastructure	This Instrument amends the Train Driving Licences and Certificates Regulations 2010, ( the 2010 Regulations ) together with three associated items of directly applicable EU legislation, Commission Decisions 2010/17/EC and 2011/765/EU and Commission Regulation 36/2010/EU (together referred to as the tertiary legislation ). This tertiary legislation will be converted into domestic law (as retained EU law ) under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the EU Withdrawal Act ). The purpose of the amendments being made is to correct a number of deficiencies that will arise with the 2010 Regulations and the tertiary legislation as a result of the UK leaving the EU and to ensure that they remain fully legally operable after exit.
Challenges to Validity of EU Instruments (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/02/2019	Justice	On exit day, the EU Withdrawal Act makes clear that there will be no right in domestic law on or after exit day to challenge any retained EU law on the basis that, immediately before exit day, an EU instrument was invalid1 . After exit, rulings of the CJEU will no longer be binding on UK courts and so any declaration of invalidity after exit will not affect the validity of retained EU law. However, there may be instances where a UK court is waiting for a ruling on validity from the CJEU, or cases begun before exit where a ruling on validity would usually have been sought. Therefore, this instrument makes transitional provision so that where cases have begun in UK courts before the UK's exit from the EU, and where those cases require a judgment on the validity of EU law, judges in the UK courts are able to rule on the validity EU law.
Environment (Miscellaneous Amendments and Revocations) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes a number of miscellaneous amendments and revocations to ensure certain environmental laws function legally after our exit from the European Union ( EU ). This is also acting as a ˜wash up' SI to make any additional amendments that are either consequential or correcting of other EU Exit regulations, to make them operable. Regulations 2 to 7 make minor amendments to provisions of other Regulations made under section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) 2018 Act, relating to wildlife, environmental permitting, chemicals, water resources and pesticides. Regulation 8 amends retained direct EU legislation relating to wildlife, and regulations 9 to 11 amend retained direct EU legislation relating to pesticides. Regulation 12(1) and the Schedule revoke various retained direct EU legislation relating to pesticides, eco-management and audit and ecolabelling, and regulation 12(2) contains a saving provision in relation to some of the revoked legislation relating to pesticides.
Services of Lawyers and Lawyer's Practice (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/02/2019	Justice	The purpose of this instrument is to implement the UK-Swiss Separation Agreement for lawyers, by amending the legislation that removes practise rights for Swiss (and EEA) lawyers in a No EU Deal scenario (The Services of Lawyers and Lawyers Practice (Revocation etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019). It will grant Swiss nationals who have Swiss legal qualifications recognised by a UK regulator (Registered European Lawyer (REL) status) before Exit Day the right to transfer into an English & Welsh or Northern Irish profession. It will prevent the revocation of REL status for Swiss lawyers and enable two groups - Swiss lawyers qualified as of Exit Day and those who have started to obtain their qualifications as Swiss lawyers before Exit Day - the right to start recognition procedures or apply to join a legal profession in England & Wales or Northern Ireland within 4 years of Exit Day. It will grant Swiss lawyers (or other nationals established or permanently employed, and professionally recognised in Switzerland) the right to continue providing services in the UK, in the service of contracts that are extant on Exit Day, for up to 90 days per year, for the duration of the contract (though limited to 5 years in the first instance, with scope for a Joint Committee to extend in 5-year periods).
State Aid (Agriculture and Fisheries) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument will correct deficiencies arising from the UK's withdrawal from the EU and guarantee legal operability; without operability amendment and restatement of the Regulations policy absurdity would occur due to the references to the EU State aid regime and process. This instrument will do no more than is appropriate in ensuring that deficiencies are corrected upon leaving the EU, and where appropriate, that retained EU law is stated in a clearer and more accessible way. This instrument complements the State Aid (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 Statutory Instrument ( the State Aid Framework SI ) laid by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The State Aid Framework SI will stand up the domestic regime and amend deficiencies in retained EU law including the General Block Exemption Regulation (No 651/2014) and the General De Minimis Regulation (No 1407/2013). It also transfers monitoring and reporting functions from the European Commission to a UK domestic regulator “ the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This instrument ensures that the current agricultural, fisheries and CAP exemptions from the EU State aid regime are operable. It corrects deficient references throughout the amended Regulations to, for example, the Commission, Member States, and the internal market. For example, in Article 5 of Agricultural Block Exemption Regulation, references to Commission Notices are being replaced with references to CMA statements of policy. The instrument transfers a number of minor Commission functions to the domestic regulator. For example, when the UK has exceeded its annual State aid budget, certain categories are then only exempted from State aid rules for a 6 month period. The instrument gives the CMA the power to extend this 6 month period. The instrument also makes minor amendments to other CAP legislation in the area of State aid. This is to ensure that these State aid clauses, which ensure the proper operation of funding arrangements under the retained CAP Regulations, continue to operate effectively after EU Exit.
Agriculture (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument amends provisions of European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the EU Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund ( EMFF ), which currently confer legislative functions on the European Commission ( the Commission ). Under the amendments, these functions will instead be exercisable by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ). This will enable these legislative functions to continue to be used at a national level after the UK leaves the EU.
Common Agricultural Policy (Financing, Management and Monitoring Supplementary Provisions) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/02/2019	DAERA	The Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) was created by the European Union ( EU ) to provide financial support to farmers and land managers in Member States. These instruments will change the retained EU CAP cross-cutting ( Horizontal ) regulations to enable it to work effectively after EU Exit. They will create an agricultural legal framework in the UK that will enable the following land management support measures to continue to work effectively after EU Exit: i. Direct Payments to farmers (CAP Pillar 1); ii. Rural Development Programme schemes (Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship) (CAP Pillar 2); and iii. Market support and responding to a market crisis in the agricultural sector, as provided for under retained EU CAP Common Organisations of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ) legislation (CAP Pillar 1).

Direct Payments to farmers (CAP Pillar 1); ii. Rural Development Programme schemes (Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship) (CAP Pillar 2); and iii. Market support and responding to a market crisis in the agricultural sector, as provided for under retained EU CAP Common Organisations of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ) legislation (CAP Pillar 1).
Common Fisheries Policy and Aquaculture (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/02/2019	DAERA	The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) imposes a common approach to the sustainable management of fisheries across the European Union and its waters (currently UK waters are part of EU waters). This instrument makes corrections to retained EU law so that it can operate effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. This instrument makes a series of amendments to transfer legislative functions that are currently exercisable by European Union entities, in particular the European Commission. The functions are transferred so that they will be exercisable instead by fisheries administrations in the United Kingdom. This instrument also makes amendments to provisions contained in an EU Regulation governing aquaculture practices, to transfer European Commission powers to United Kingdom fisheries administrations; and it contains minor consequential amendments to The Sea Fishing (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.
Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products and Common Agricultural Policy (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	13/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument amends retained European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the common organisation of agricultural markets ( Common Market Organisation or CMO ) with a common objective of, directly or indirectly, supporting prices received by agricultural producers. This instrument will address operability issues created by the United Kingdom ( UK ) leaving the EU relating to reserved policy areas in the CMO to ensure that the CMO can continue to operate effectively after EU Exit. The instrument will also address operability issues created by the UK leaving the EU in relation to the reserved policy area of checks relating to protected designations of origin and geographical indications in the EU Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) cross-cutting ( Horizontal ) legislation.

Agriculture (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) (No.2) Regulations 2019	14/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument amends provisions of European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the EU Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ), the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ) and organic food and feed, which are currently carried out by the European Commission ( the Commission ). Under the amendments, these functions will instead be exercisable by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ). This will enable these legislative functions to continue to be used at a national level after the UK leaves the EU.
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/02/2019	DAERA	The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations amends domestic regulations, retained and directly applicable EU regulations and directly applicable EU decisions, which implement different European regulations and directives related to: i) natural mineral waters ( NMWs ), ii) spirits; iii) food labelling; iv) wines and aromatised wines; v) genetically modified organisms (release to the environment) ( GMOs ); and vi) animal health to ensure that the existing policy regimes can continue to operate effectively after the UK leaves the EU
Food and Farming (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/02/2019	DAERA	This cross-cutting instrument makes a range of minor amendments to EU legislation on wine and spirit drinks that were settled in the EU too late to be included in earlier negative instruments. This instrument also makes minor amendments to previously laid EU Exit instruments to make corrections, specifically: ? The Genetically Modified Organisms (Amendment) (England) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/88) ? The Genetically Modified Organisms (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/90) ?

Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	18/02/2019	Infrastructure	The instrument amends the Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2016 (the 2016 Regulations ), as amended by the Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (the 2019 Regulations ), to rectify deficiencies that will arise from the United Kingdom's (UK's) exit from the European Union (EU). Additionally, it will make appropriate corrections to four pieces of directly applicable tertiary legislation and revoke three pieces of directly applicable tertiary legislation to reflect the UK's departure from the EU
Drivers' Hours and Tachographs (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	26/02/2019	Infrastructure	This instrument remedies deficiencies in Northern Ireland domestic law in the field of drivers' hours and tachographs for the carriage of goods and passengers by road, arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. These amendments are made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the EU Withdrawal Act ). This instrument makes separate amendments to the International Road Transport Permits (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 ( the Permits Regulations ) to correct an error in regulation 28(2) of those Regulations to provide that the 20 working day time-limit for making an appeal applies to appeals to a traffic commissioner in Great Britain. A new sub-paragraph (3A) is also inserted to allow for the period of time in which an appellant must be informed of the outcome of an appeal to be extended.
Railways (Interoperability) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	26/02/2019	Infrastructure	This instrument amends the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/3066) (the Principal Regulations ), which transpose EU Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the European rail system.

Common Fisheries Policy (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	28/02/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes the minimum necessary technical fixes to the landing obligation, to maintain the same conservation requirements that currently exist. It also amends provisions on prohibitions on fishing for certain species in certain areas so that these prohibitions continue to have effect in UK law. Furthermore, it revokes provisions which put into law the fishing opportunities that are set by the EU for the UK, as it will no longer be appropriate for these to apply to the UK once it is not a member of the EU (instead, the Secretary of State will set fishing opportunities for the UK).
Conformity Assessment (Mutual Recognition Agreements) Regulations 2019	28/02/2019	Economy	These Regulations will provide explicit recognition in UK legislation for conformity assessment (product safety compliance) against EU regulations carried out by bodies in third countries that have entered into a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA), or a trade agreement including provisions on conformity assessment (collectively referred to as Agreements), with the European Union (EU). These Regulations will provide certainty that relevant goods that are conformity assessed by bodies in third countries that are recognised under the Agreements, can be placed on the UK market pre-exit. By making it clear that conformity assessment by certain bodies in these third countries should be treated as if it had been carried out by a body under EU law, these Regulations will also ensure that these products can continue to be placed on the UK market after exit, under the relevant EU Exit legislation. The countries with Agreements covered by this measure are Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey, South Korea and Israel.
Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	11/03/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes simple changes to domestic legislation to ensure that Scottish Government and its agencies can continue to control fishing and marine dredging (for the extraction of minerals) in the Scottish zone after EU Exit. This instrument amends The Scotland Act 1998 (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) Order 1999 and The Scotland Act 1998 (Modifications of Functions) Order 1999.
Merchant Shipping (Inland Waterways) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	12/03/2019	Infrastructure	The European Union has regulated many areas of maritime policy, and, where necessary, the United Kingdom has introduced legislation to give effect to such EU measures. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) will retain such legislation in UK law. This instrument makes a number of amendments designed to ensure that the relevant UK secondary legislation continues to operate effectively and does not contain provisions which are no longer required once the UK leaves the EU. This instrument amends secondary legislation relating to boatmasters' licensing and technical requirements for inland waterway vessels.
Geo-Blocking Regulation (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/03/2019	Economy	The Instrument revokes the retained EU law version of the Geo-Blocking Regulation (Regulation 2018/302) and revokes the Geo-Blocking (Enforcement) Regulations 2018. These revocations are being made in order to address deficiencies arising as a result of the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
Food and Feed Hygiene and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	18/03/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Food and Feed Hygiene and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (this instrument) is intended to address a range of remaining deficiencies in retained EU law relating to food and animal feed. These are more minor deficiencies which have not been addressed in the fifteen earlier exit related statutory instruments which have been presented to Parliament by Health and Social Care ministers, and to deal with very recent changes which have been made to EU law, and which could not have been addressed in the earlier instruments. The provisions relate to transitionary elements and clarifications for the policy areas listed in para 6.2. These amendments will facilitate trade and the functioning of retained law after the UK has left the EU. Currently, EU law relating to food and feed safety are implemented or enforced in the UK by a number of statutory instruments, covering several policy areas. The aim of this instrument is to complement those provisions through the miscellaneous amendments that are detailed at para 7.3, ensuring their operability and continued safety of food and animal feed after the UK has left the EU.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	22/03/2019	Economy	These Regulations amend the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2012 ( the 2012 Regulations ), which transpose the provisions of Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union ( the EU ETS Directive ). These Regulations will amend the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) compliance cycle deadline for UK participants for the 2018 scheme year. The surrender deadline is changed to 10.59 pm on 29th March 2019. It is further moved to (i) immediately before the UK's exit from the EU if exit day within the meaning of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 is changed so that it falls on a day before 1st May 2019; or (ii) to 30th April 2019 if exit day within the meaning of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 is changed so that it falls on or after 1st May 2019. These deadlines also apply if, before the new surrender deadline, exit day is subsequently changed again.
Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	27/03/2019	Infrastructure	The purpose of this instrument is to bring forward to 29 March 2019 the commencement of Part 3 of the Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the 2019 Regulations ). An erroneous version of this instrument, in a form other than that approved by resolution of each House of Parliament, was initially made and registered as S.I. 2019 No. 490. That instrument has now been withdrawn, and the correct version made as S.I. 2019 No. 648. If the commencement of Part 3 of that instrument were not now brought forward to 29 March 2019, the instrument's commencement provisions would not operate correctly.
Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	04/04/2019	Economy	This instrument revokes Regulation (EU) No 1287/2013 establishing a Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME), in order to address failures of retained EU law as provided for by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Animal Health, Alien Species in Aquaculture and Invasive Non-native Species (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/04/2019	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to make technical corrections to four EU Exit instruments relating to the withdrawal of the UK from the EU that have been laid after approval by both Houses of Parliament. The first amended instrument, the Import of and Trade in Animals and Animal Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the Imports instrument ), makes operability amendments to forty-six EU Regulations, Decisions and implementing and delegated instruments in relation to trade in animals and animal related products. The second amended instrument, the Invasive Non-native Species (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the Invasive Species instrument ), makes operability amendments to the main 2014 EU Regulation (1143/2014), and implementing and delegated instruments under it, relating to the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive non-native species. The third and fourth amended instruments relate to aquatic animal health and alien and locally absent species in aquaculture ( the Aquatics instruments ). These are (a) the Aquatic Animal Health and Alien Species in Aquaculture (Amendment) (England and Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I 2019/452), which makes operability amendments to the Aquatic Animal Health (England and Wales) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/463), and (b) the Aquatic Animal Health and Alien Species in Aquaculture (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/451), which amends retained direct EU legislation and makes modifications to Directive 2006/88/EC for the purposes of references to that Directive in any enactment. No policy changes are being introduced by the corrective amendments in this instrument, which are technical in nature to ensure that retained EU law operates as intended.
Common Agricultural Policy and Market Measures (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/04/2019	DAERA	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. The statutory instruments amended by this instrument in order to take account of recently introduced EU legislation relating to CAP Direct Payments and marketing standards in the fruit and vegetables sectors, are: ¢ The Common Agricultural Policy (Direct Payments to Farmers) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which themselves amend retained EU legislation relating to Direct Payments to farmers provided under agricultural support schemes within the CAP; and ¢ The Market Measures (Marketing Standards) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which themselves amend retained EU legislation relating to marketing standards in the fruit and vegetables sectors provided under the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ) framework of the CAP.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No.2) Regulations 2019	05/04/2019	Economy	In the event that the UK withdraws from the EU without a deal ( ˜No Deal'), the UK would not have an agreement in place to continue participating in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which would create inoperabilities in existing legislation. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/107) revoked certain provisions that will cease to apply on exit day and amended others to address those inoperabilities. This instrument maintains, and makes technical fixes to, the elements of the EU ETS which will continue operate after exit, namely the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification ( ˜MRV') of greenhouse gas emissions. As well as ensuring transparency over greenhouse gas emissions, MRV will also provide information to allow the implementation of a ˜Carbon Emissions Tax' by HM Treasury (announced in the 2018 Budget and legislated for separately in the Finance Act 2019). In the absence of the EU ETS, the Carbon Emissions Tax will maintain a carbon price for industry in the event that the UK withdraws from the EU without a deal until a long-term alternative is established. The Carbon Emissions Tax is therefore without prejudice to any future decision on the UK's future approach to carbon pricing in the longer term; the UK is considering the options, including continuing to participate in the EU ETS, a UK ETS (linked or standalone) or a carbon tax.
Environment and Rural Affairs (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	23/05/2019	DAERA	This instrument corrects a number of minor errors in other instruments, and makes some additional amendments to correct deficiencies in domestic legislation arising as a result of the UK ™s exit from the European Union. It amends: ¢ the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/25) ( the EIA (EU Exit) Regulations ), which relates to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), in the fields of agriculture and marine works; ¢ the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/39) ( the EPR (EU Exit) Regulations ); ¢ the Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/188) ( Waste (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations ); ¢ the Waste (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/620) ( the Waste (EU Exit) Regulations ).
The Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (System Operation and Connection) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	04/06/2019	Economy	This instrument amends the Electricity Network Codes and Guidelines (System Operation and Connection) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/533) and will help ensure that legislation governing the UK ™s energy systems will function effectively in the event that the UK leaves the European Union ( ˜EU ™) without a withdrawal agreement in place on 31 October 2019. It ensures that three Commission Regulations for electricity connection codes become retained EU law. These codes did not apply in full before an exit date of 29 March 2019 but they will now apply in full before exit as a result of the Article 50 extension to 31 October 2019. The Requirements for Generators (RfG) is established by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/631 and will become retained direct EU law in full as it has a compliance date of 27 April 2019. The Demand Connection Code (DCC) is established by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1388 and will become retained direct EU law in full as it has a compliance date of 17 August 2019. The High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) code is established by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1447 and will become retained direct EU law in full as it has a compliance date of 26 August 2019.
Environment (Legislative Functions from Directives) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	07/06/2019	DAERA	This instrument transfers a series of legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union ( EU ) Directives upon the European Commission ( the Commission ), to be exercisable instead by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( the UK ), so that they can be exercised at national level after the UK leaves the EU.
European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	18/06/2019	Economy	This instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address failures of retained EU law and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. It enables UK public authorities to continue to take part in European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation if they wish once the UK has left the EU.
Pesticides (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	19/06/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes a number of amendments to the retained direct EU legislation which forms the plant protection product and maximum residue level ( ˜MRLs ™) regulatory regimes, so that they can continue to operate effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. Some of the required amendments are as a consequence of the change in exit day from 29th March which impacts on various dates specified in the retained law. Further new EU legislation has also come into force during the extension period, which needs to be amended in order to correct deficiencies arising from exiting the European Union. This instrument also fixes a number of errors in earlier instruments made under section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( ˜the Withdrawal Act ™).
Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type-Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 3) Regulations 2019	01/07/2019	Infrastructure	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under paragraphs (a) and (g) of section 8(2)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. They amend the Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type-Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/648) ( the principal Regulations ) to ” ” vary the period during which the increase in permitted production limits for National Small Series Type Approval provided for by the principal Regulations applies. This is necessary due to the change in exit day from the original 29th March 2019. (See regulation 2(a).) ” replace the multiplication factor applied to the figures in Table 1 of Regulation 25 of the Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/717) by the principal Regulations relating to vehicle categories M1 and N1 with a limit of 1000 vehicles. (See regulation 2(a).) The multiplication factor applied to figures relating to all other vehicle categories remains as provided for by the Principal Regulations. ” revoke Regulation (EU) 2019/26 (which makes provision in EU legislation for the United Kingdom ™s withdrawal from the European Union) and make transitional provision in respect of that revocation. (See regulation 2(b).) The net costs imposed on business, the voluntary sector and the public sector by these Regulations have been assessed as being less than £5m in any year and therefore a full impact assessment has not been prepared.
Cableway Installations (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	02/07/2019	Infrastructure	The instrument corrects deficiencies in the Cableway Installations Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/816) (the 2018 Regulations ) and directly applicable EU Regulation 2016/424 (the EU Regulation ) which will arise from the UK ™s exit from the European Union. It is being made to give clarity and certainty to industry that the 2018 Regulations and the EU Regulation continue to operate efficiently in the event of the UK leaving the European Union without an agreed deal with the EU.
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Consequential Modifications and Repeals) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	02/07/2019	Executive Office	The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that the UK statute book works coherently and effectively following the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. It clarifies how certain terms, including EU-related definitions, should be interpreted in domestic legislation on or after exit day. This instrument also clarifies how non-ambulatory cross-references to EU legislation should be read where such references relate to a time before exit day. Non-ambulatory references are references which are not automatically updated. The regulations make technical repeals to redundant provisions within primary legislation arising from the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the EUWA ). These are primarily repeals of amending provisions, in particular relating to the European Communities Act 1972 ( the ECA ), where the EUWA has already provided for the repeal of the amended provisions. The purpose of the repeals in these Regulations is to tidy up the statute book and they have no substantive effect.
Food and Drink (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	10/07/2019	DAERA	These regulations primarily amend wine legislation but also make minor operational amendments to food information rules. This legislation will make necessary changes to EU regulations to ensure that laws in this area will remain operable after the UK leaves the EU. The SI will make various changes to ensure that provisions concerning the trade in wines, monitoring production and maintaining records will operate correctly after EU Exit. It will ensure that the responsibilities for monitoring and controls are re-allocated appropriately taking into account the UK ™s transition from being a singular Member State to being UK devolved governments. It will also set out various changes that will reflect the interdependencies with other legislation, primarily that made by HMRC to ensure that transition from Single Customs Union controls to UK specific customs controls operate correctly.
Gas Tariffs Code (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	10/07/2019	Economy	The purpose of the instrument is to deal with deficiencies arising from the United Kingdom ™s withdrawal from the European Union. It does this by making amendments to Schedule 5 of the Gas (Security of Supply and Network Codes) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/531) ( the 2019 Regulations ). The 2019 Regulations make amendments to Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/460 which establishes a network code on harmonised transmission tariff structures for gas ( TAR ). This instrument is required as a result of changes to what will be retained EU law on exit day as a consequence of the postponement of exit day beyond 31 May 2019, the date from which Chapters II, III and IV of TAR apply.
Freedom of Establishment and Free Movement of Services (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	11/07/2019	Economy	The Freedom of Establishment and Free Movement of Services (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( ˜this Instrument ™) disapplies provisions on freedom of establishment and the free movement of services which continue as directly effective rights in domestic law, by virtue of section 4 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The Instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, in order to address deficiencies in retained European Union (EU) law arising as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU.
Statutory Auditors, Third Country Auditors and International Accounting Standards (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	15/07/2019	Economy	This instrument is primarily being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16), as well as other domestic powers in the Deregulation Act 2015, the Companies Act 2006 (c. 46) (including some that were introduced by the Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/177 - the audit regulations )) and the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (c. 12). This instrument continues the process of addressing failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). This is intended to ensure that the frameworks for the application of international accounting standards under UK law, and for regulatory oversight and professional recognition of statutory auditors and third country auditors in the UK, work effectively following the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU.
Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	18/07/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes simple changes to domestic legislation to ensure that the Scottish Government and its agencies can continue to control fishing and marine dredging (for the extraction of minerals) in the Scottish zone after EU Exit. This instrument amends the Scotland Act 1998 (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) Order 1999 and the Scotland Act 1998 (Modifications of Functions) Order 1999. This instrument revokes and replaces a largely identical instrument: the Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the original Regulations ). This instrument is being made to ensure there is no doubt in relation to compliance with the requirements of paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The commencement provisions in the original Regulations were amended after the Committees referred to in paragraph 3(4) of Schedule 7 to that Act (the Sifting Committees) had made their recommendations as to the appropriate procedure for that instrument. As a result, the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments drew the original Regulations to the attention of both Houses on the grounds that there appeared to be doubt over the power to make them. This instrument revokes the original Regulations before they were due to come into force, thereby addressing the points raised by the Joint Committee.
Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	22/07/2019	Economy	The Regulations make amendments to the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 which are required as a result of the extension to the UK ™s exit from the EU. The majority of the amendments arise from the introduction of new Scottish Insolvency Rules, which came into force on 6 April 2019, and which the previous SI could not address. Not amending these new rules to take account of EU exit would create uncertainty for businesses and consumers in Scotland, and an inefficient insolvency process “ undermining confidence and the UK insolvency regime ™s reputation. Additionally, Article 25 of the EU Insolvency Regulation 2015 (EUIR), which came into force on 26 June 2019, and so could not be revoked by the previous SI, will require revocation so as to be clear that there is no legal obligation to integrate UK insolvency registers with the EU.
Plant Health (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	22/07/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes technical changes to earlier EU Exit SIs to take account of various recent EU instruments relating to plant health. It will ensure that this recent EU legislation forms part of the retained EU law relating to plant health on exit day. It also amends primary legislation relating to plant health to remove references to EU obligations.
Common Agricultural Policy and Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	24/07/2019	DAERA	This SI and the Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Transitional Arrangements etc.) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 amend existing domestic secondary legislation, which itself amends retained European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the Common Agriculture Policy ( CAP ) to enable it to work effectively after the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. The amendments make minor corrections to these instruments, including relating to transitional arrangements after EU Exit, to ensure that the instruments are able to function as intended, removing ambiguities and inconsistencies. A full list of the domestic legislation being amended by these instruments can be found at section 1 of Annex 2 of the instruments' explanatory memorandum.
Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Transitional Arrangements etc.) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	24/07/2019	DAERA	This SI and the Common Agricultural Policy and Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 amend existing domestic secondary legislation, which itself amends retained European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the Common Agriculture Policy ( CAP ) to enable it to work effectively after the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. The amendments make minor corrections to these instruments, including relating to transitional arrangements after EU Exit, to ensure that the instruments are able to function as intended, removing ambiguities and inconsistencies. A full list of the domestic legislation being amended by these instruments can be found at section 1 of Annex 2 of the instruments' explanatory memorandum.
Environment and Wildlife (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2019	24/07/2019	DAERA	This statutory instrument amends the Environment and Wildlife (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( ˜SI 2019/473 ™). This is to ensure that the Secretary of State can set out the detail of key derogations in Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 by regulations, rather than ˜in writing ™, which may restrict the powers of the Secretary of State to simply making administrative measures. It also provides for regulations made by the Secretary of State in respect of those derogations to be subject to parliamentary scrutiny under the negative resolution procedure.
Agriculture (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	25/07/2019	DAERA	This instrument amends provisions of European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the EU Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) and the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ), including in particular a number of legislative functions which are currently carried out by the European Commission ( the Commission ). Under the amendments, these functions will instead be carried out by public authorities in the United Kingdom ( UK ). This will enable these legislative functions to continue to be used at a national level after the UK leaves the EU.
Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products and Common Agricultural Policy (Miscellaneous Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019	25/07/2019	DAERA	This instrument amends retained European Union ( EU ) legislation relating to the common organisation of agricultural markets ( Common Market Organisation or CMO ). This instrument will address operability issues created by the United Kingdom ( UK ) leaving the EU. This instrument will ensure that the CMO can continue to operate effectively after EU Exit. This instrument also makes minor amendments to retained EU law relating to support for rural development and the maritime and fisheries fund. This is to address operability issues created by EU Exit and ensures that the retained EU law can continue to operate effectively in a UK context.
Animal Health and Genetically Modified Organisms (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/09/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes a number of technical changes to existing instruments and takes into account recent changes to EU legislation that were settled in the EU too late to be included in earlier EU Exit SIs. It also corrects minor errors in earlier EU Exit statutory instruments. It will ensure that retained EU law continues to operate effectively after the UK leaves the EU. This instrument makes minor amendments to previously laid EU Exit instruments in the following subject areas: ¢ In Part 2, Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies ( TSEs ) and Animal By-Products ( ABPs ); and ¢ In Part 3, Genetically Modified Organisms ( GMOs )
Trade in Animals and Animal Products (Legislative Functions) and Veterinary Surgeons (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	05/09/2019	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to make technical operability changes under Section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) to existing EU legislation. Relevant EU legislation delegates to the EU Commission the legislative power to add, vary or remove a country from lists of approved third countries. This instrument makes these legislative powers that are contained within EU Directives operable upon EU withdrawal and allows the UK to align with the EU and approve third countries for the purpose of animal and product imports. This instrument supports the UK ™s application to be listed as a third country by the EU for live animals and animal products. The UK ™s application was approved by the EU in April 2019 as having met the minimum requirements at that time. Given the change in exit day to 31st October 2019, we are using this opportunity to ensure we are as prepared as we can be to support all possible requirements of listing. In transferring EU Commission powers to approve third countries for the purpose of animal and product imports, this will ensure the UK could adapt its own list of approved countries to retain its EU listing, should the long-term situation change after exit day. It will also allow for the longer-term removal of third countries from our approval list, should their biosecurity risk change significantly after exiting the EU, supporting our existing powers to exercise import controls. Parts 2 and 3 of this instrument transfer these delegated legislative powers from the Commission to the Secretary of State if consent is given by the Welsh Ministers in relation to Wales, the Scottish Ministers in relation to Scotland, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs ( DAERA ) in relation to Northern Ireland following their involvement in an assessment of the suitability of a third country to be approved to export such goods and animals into the United Kingdom. Parts 4 and 5 of this instrument also makes further operability amendments to a previously made EU exit statutory instrument, and into domestic regulations in England and Northern Ireland relating to the trade in animals and animal products. No policy changes are being introduced by these amendments, which are technical in nature. However, the Secretary of State with the consent of devolved appropriate authorities may publish lists of those animals and products that require or are exempted from border veterinary checks. Part 6 makes an amendment to correct a cross-reference to the Veterinary Surgeons and Animal Welfare (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( ˜the Veterinary Surgeons Instrument ™).
Specific Food Hygiene (Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	09/09/2019	Food Standards Agency	The Specific Food Hygiene (Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the instrument ) is being made to refine an amendment to retained EU law made by the Specific Food Hygiene (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019 No. 640) The refinement concerns the process for approval of substances which may be used to remove surface contamination from products of animal origin. The process is presently set out in EU law as part of Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin.
Healthcare (European Economic Area and Switzerland Arrangements) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	03/10/2019	Health/FSA	This instrument makes provision for the purpose of implementing healthcare arrangements between the United Kingdom (UK) and European Economic Area (EEA) states, Switzerland (Member States) or an international organisation (for example, the European Union (EU)) after the UK leaves the EU in a no deal scenario. It also makes provision for the making of payments in respect of the cost of healthcare provided in Member States. It does this by conferring functions on certain bodies, including the NHS Business Services Authority (the NHS BSA), and requiring them to give effect to healthcare arrangements. The instrument also confers functions on the NHS BSA for the purposes of implementing any arrangements made with Member States to transitionally continue reciprocal healthcare provision under current EU Regulations which were continued by the Social Security Coordination (Reciprocal Healthcare) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the EU Exit Reciprocal Healthcare Regulations).
Common Fisheries Policy and Animals (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	07/10/2019	DAERA	The Common Fisheries Policy ( CFP ) imposes a common approach to the sustainable management of fisheries across the EU and its waters. Three statutory instruments made in early 2019 under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( EUWA ) made corrections to ensure retained CFP legislation would operate effectively on the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU when exit day was specified as 29th March 2019. This instrument is required to ensure retained EU law operates effectively following the exit day extension period. This further instrument is required in relation to three categories of amendments: (a) Amendments required to account for new EU CFP legislation which has come into force since 29th March 2019; (b) Amendments to EU legislation previously de-prioritised due to its non-essential nature that can be amended during the extension period before the new exit day; (c) Minor corrections required to previous statutory instruments made under the EUWA (mentioned above) due to typographic and other errors.
Railways (Safety, Access, Management and Interoperability) (Miscellaneous Amendments and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	07/10/2019	Infrastructure	The main purpose of this instrument is to introduce a transitional two year period after Brexit during which EU Part A safety certificates issued by EU member states before Brexit will continue to be recognised for the purpose of operating trains on the mainline railway in Great Britain, thereby supporting a smooth and effective transition. The instrument also corrects deficiencies that will arise when the UK leaves the EU in various pieces of domestic legislation, as well as directly applicable EU implementing and delegated legislation. This includes making amendments to previous rail Brexit instruments, so that they correct deficiencies in directly applicable EU implementing and delegated rail legislation that has come into effect since 12 April 2019. This will help ensure that business has certainty and clarity about the affected parts of the rail legislative regime.
Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England and Northern Ireland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	07/10/2019	DAERA	The Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England and Northern Ireland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 amend the definitions of evidence of training and examination in regulation 3 of the Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2014 (S.R. 2014 No. 107) ( the 2014 Regulations ) and the Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1782) ( the 2015 Regulations ). The amendments mean that an individual wishing to apply for a certificate of competence (which is needed in order to kill animals or carry out related operations in a slaughterhouse) may rely on approved training and examination undertaken in the Republic of Ireland. This change is required to ensure that the UK Government meets its obligations under the UK-Ireland Common Travel Area.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019	14/10/2019	DAERA	This instrument makes the necessary corrections to ensure that Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Persistent Organic Pollutants ( POPs ) functions once we leave the EU. This includes transferring legislative and administrative functions that are currently conferred by EU legislation upon the European Commission ( the Commission ) and the European Chemicals Agency ( ECHA ), to be exercisable instead by public authorities in the UK, so that they can be exercised at national level after the UK leaves the EU. This instrument also revokes the following regulations: Part 4 of the Persistent Organic Pollutants (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1405) which made corrections to the, now repealed; Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 on POPs; and Regulation 2 of the Environment and Wildlife (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulation 2019 (S.I. 2019/473) which transferred legislative functions contained in Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 on POPs. This instrument also makes consequential amendments to the Chemicals (Health and Safety) and Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
Financing, Management and Monitoring of Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020	31/01/2020	DAERA	This instrument and the Rules for Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020 amend retained European Union ( EU ) law governing the Direct Payment schemes for farmers established under the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) in respect of claim year 2020, which runs from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. This is in order to address operability issues created by the United Kingdom ( UK ) leaving the EU. The amendments will enable that retained EU law to operate effectively in the UK after EU Exit for claim year 2020.
Rules for Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020	31/01/2020	DAERA	This instrument and the Financing, Management and Monitoring of Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020 amend retained European Union ( EU ) law governing the Direct Payment schemes for farmers established under the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) in respect of claim year 2020, which runs from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. This is in order to address operability issues created by the United Kingdom ( UK ) leaving the EU. The amendments will enable that retained EU law to operate effectively in the UK after EU Exit for claim year 2020.
Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	03/02/2020	Economy	This instrument continues the process of addressing failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). This is intended to ensure that the frameworks for regulatory oversight and professional recognition of statutory auditors and third country auditors in the UK work effectively following the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. These parts of the instrument, with the other changes to the relevant frameworks, will come into force at the end of the implementation period. This is consistent with the withdrawal agreement between the UK and the European Union. The instrument also implements developments in EU law and makes sure that the UK ™s domestic implementation of EU law works effectively.
International Accounting Standards, Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	14/02/2020	Economy	The purpose of this instrument is to amend the International Accounting Standards and European Public Limited-Liability Company (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/685) ( IAS SI ). The IAS SI addressed failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, in the field of accounts and reports of UK corporate bodies. This instrument provides a transitional arrangement for companies whose financial years ˜straddle ™ the Implementation Period completion day ( IP completion day ), for the purposes of the IAS SI. The instrument also makes minor amendments to correct errors in the IAS SI and ensures that the Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/177) ( Audit SI ) functions as intended. The instrument will apply to companies and other undertakings, but companies are referred to throughout for ease of reference.
Railways (Interoperability) (Miscellaneous Amendments and Revocations) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	27/02/2020	Infrastructure	This instrument is required to ensure that the UK has a functioning statute book and will come into force at the end of the transition period. It amends the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/3066) (the Principal Regulations ) and the Railways (Interoperability) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the 2019 Regulations ) to ensure that the United Kingdom ™s interoperability regime functions correctly after the transition period and corrects certain errors in that instrument. The Rail Passengers ™ Rights and Obligations (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, the Rail Safety (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and the Train Driving Licences and Certificates (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 are also amended to reflect accurately amendments made to various EU references and this instrument also corrects errors in the latter instrument. Amendments are made by this instrument to Commission Decisions 2007/756/EC and 2018/1614 which specify the format of registers held within Member States containing information about railway vehicles and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 which deals with the common specifications for the register of railway infrastructure. It also revokes EU tertiary legislation relating to the new Interoperability Directive (EU) 2016/797 ( the 2016 Directive ) as this will no longer be relevant in the UK after the end of the transition period.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Extension of Time Limits for Legal Proceedings) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	24/04/2020	Economy	This instrument amends four pieces of EU-derived legislation which extend the time limit for bringing court proceedings where a consumer is engaged in non-binding alternative dispute resolution (ADR). These are: the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, the Limitation Act 1980, the Foreign Limitation Periods Act 1984 and the Limitation (Northern Ireland) Order 1989. The instrument removes references to the ADR Directive (2013/11/EU) and the effect of the amendments is that the relevant time limit will only be extended for ADR in which the consumer is resident in the UK and uses the services of an ADR provider which is authorised within the UK. The amendments substantively mirror amendments already made to section 140AA (extension of time limits because of alternative dispute resolution in certain cross border or domestic contractual disputes) of the Equality Act 2010 by the Equality (Amendment and Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/305) ( the Equality Exit Regulations ). This instrument also amends the Equality Exit Regulations for full consistency of drafting and to insert a transitional provision into those Regulations.
Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2020	28/04/2020	DAERA	The need for this instrument arises from the fact that the EU law governing the 2020 Direct Payment schemes for farmers established under the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) was incorporated into UK law on exit day, rather than at the end of the Implementation Period ( IP ) established under the EU Withdrawal Agreement. It ensures that the retained Direct Payments legislation is treated in the same way as legislation retained under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the 2018 Act ). This is necessary to ensure the UK statute book works coherently and effectively. For example, it provides clarity on how cross-references to EU regulations governing the 2020 Direct Payment schemes should be read.
Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2020	05/05/2020	Economy	This instrument implements Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws and repealing Regulation (EC) 2006/2004 ( the new CPC Regulation ) into UK law, where such implementation is necessary. While the new CPC Regulation is directly applicable in the UK, this instrument ensures that it operates correctly. It ensures that competent authorities have, in domestic law, the investigation and enforcement powers necessary to perform the functions required by the new CPC Regulation. The instrument ensures that those powers can be exercised in relation to EU laws (as implemented in domestic law) which have been brought in scope of the CPC Regulation for the first time. The UK is required to implement the CPC Regulation because the Regulation came into force on 17 January 2020 when the UK was still a member of the EU.
Companies and Statutory Auditors etc. (Consequential Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/05/2020	Economy	This instrument is being made using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 to replace references to exit day with IP completion day in EU Exit related Regulations. It will ensure that the United Kingdom statute book will function correctly and provide clarity and a smooth transition for business after the Transition Period (TP).
Energy Efficiency (Building Renovation and Reporting) (Amendment) Regulations 2020	03/06/2020	Economy	The purpose of this instrument is to insert new requirements into the Energy Efficiency (Building Renovation and Reporting) Regulations 2014, transposing three articles (Articles 2a, 10(6) and 20(2)) contained within Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings (the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive or EPBD). This SI is required to ensure the UK fulfils its obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement to transpose EU law into domestic statute until the end of the Transition Period. This instrument will expire on the last day of the Transition Period.
Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Section 75 “ Designation of Public Authority) Order 2020	08/06/2020	Justice	This instrument makes provision designating the Independent Monitoring Authority for the Citizens ™ Rights Agreements for the purposes of section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020	09/06/2020	DAERA	This instrument amends the retained EU law governing the 2020 Direct Payment schemes for farmers. This EU law became domestic law at 11:00pm on 31st January 2020 ( exit day ) further to the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 ( the DPLC Act ). The amendments in this instrument confirm the euro to sterling exchange rate for payments under these schemes. This instrument also addresses other operability issues arising from the UK ™s exit from the EU that were not fully dealt with at the time. The amendments will enable the retained EU law to operate effectively in the UK for claim year 2020, with no ambiguity.
The Direct Payments Ceilings Regulations 2020	09/06/2020	DAERA	This instrument amends the UK ™s national ceiling and net ceiling for Direct Payments for claim year 2020. These financial ceilings are used to calculate payments to farmers under the Direct Payment schemes. The amendments to the ceilings made by this instrument take account of previous policy decisions made by the Government and Devolved Administrations, including concerning the transfer of funds for rural development measures. The amendments also take account of the findings of the Bew Review concerning the allocation of farm support funding in the UK. This Statutory Instrument replaces one of the same name laid on 4 June 2020 and withdrawn on 9 June.
Vegetable Plant Material and Seed (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2020	09/06/2020	DAERA	This instrument amends: the Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Regulations 1995 ( the 1995 Regulations ); the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 2001 ( the 2001 Regulations ); and the Seed Marketing Regulations 2011 ( the 2011 Regulations ). This instrument is required to ensure that the United Kingdom fulfils its obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement to transpose EU law into domestic legislation until the end of the Implementation Period (31st December 2020). We are therefore transposing Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2019/990 amending the list of genera and species in Article 2(1)(b) of Council Directive 2002/55/EC, in Annex II to Council Directive 2008/72/EC and in the Annex to Commission Directive 93/61/EEC ( the 2019 Directive ).We are also transposing Commission Implementing Directive (EU) 2020/432 amending Council Directive 2002/55/EC with regard to the definition of vegetables and the list of genera and species in Article 2(1)(b) ( the 2020 Directive ). The 2020 Directive rectifies an error made by the 2019 Directive, by reinstating the definition of vegetables in Directive 2002/55/EC on the marketing of vegetable seed. This instrument changes the common names of certain vegetable species in accordance with the grouping used in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. It also brings hybrids between the species and groups listed into the scope of the 2011 Regulations. The changes aim to provide greater clarity for businesses in terms of the species covered by the scope of the regulations amended by this instrument. This instrument also brings into line the species Cichorium intybus L (Chicory) with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/478. This Commission Implementing Decision releases certain Member States from the obligation to apply Directive 2002/55/EC to certain species. This instrument therefore extends the derogation from the requirement to provide a national list and restrict marketing in the 2001 Regulations, to the entire species.
The INSPIRE (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	15/06/2020	DAERA	This draft Statutory Instrument supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament on 13 May 2020. This instrument amends deficiencies in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) which established a European spatial data infrastructure ( SDI ). Directive 2007/2/EC requires Member States to operate national SDIs. Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372 replaced Commission Decision 2009/442/EC. Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372 simplifies arrangements for monitoring the use of the SDI and reporting on the cost, benefits and governance of implementation. This instrument also makes consequential amendments to the INSPIRE (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1338). This will ensure that amendments made to the UK INSPIRE Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/3157) which incorporated the INSPIRE Directive into UK law covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland reflect the new Commission Decision and will be operable after the UK exits the EU. 2.3 This instrument makes similar consequential amendments to the INSPIRE (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (S.S.I. 103/2019), at the request of the Scottish Government. This instrument also makes consequential amendments to The Environment (Legislative Functions from Directives) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 1350/2019 which are necessary as a result of the replacement of Commission Decision 2009/442/EC by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372. These amendments are made to ensure that the regulation making power in The Environment (Legislative Functions from Directives) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 1350/2019 can be used as necessary to amend Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1372. These amendments are being made to enable the continued operability of the INSPIRE legislative architecture as retained EU law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, following the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. The INSPIRE Directive was implemented in England and Wales and Northern Ireland by INSPIRE Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/3157), and in Scotland by INSPIRE (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (S.S.I. 2009/440).
Online Intermediation Services for Business Users (Enforcement) Regulations 2020	19/06/2020	Justice	The Online Intermediation Services for Business Users (Enforcement) Regulations 2020 ( this instrument ) makes arrangements for the domestic enforcement of Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services ( the EU Online Intermediation Services Regulation ).
Electricity and Gas etc. (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	22/06/2020	Economy	This instrument is required to ensure that the United Kingdom ( ˜UK ™) has a functioning statute book at the end of the implementation period ( ˜IP ™) should the UK not reach a further agreement with the EU, or should any agreement not cover the relevant policy area. It amends six EU exit statutory instruments which amended a range of primary and secondary legislation, of both domestic and European origin, to ensure Great Britain ( ˜GB ™) and Northern Ireland ™s ( ˜NI ™) energy systems remained operable once the UK left the EU.
Wine (Amendment) Regulations 2020	25/06/2020	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to maintain the standards for wine marketed within the UK. UK domestic legislation currently references EU legislation that sets out the details for the rules on wine production based on International Organisation for Vine and Wine ( ˜OIV ™) approved processes and practices. These wine production rules are applicable in the United Kingdom ( ˜UK ™) both during the Implementation Period and beyond, in accordance with the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2020. However, references to the EU legislation in the current UK domestic legislation are out of date because the EU legislation has been amended. Therefore, the UK domestic legislation needs to be amended to ensure that it references the amended EU legislation.
Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High-efficiency Cogeneration and Renewables Obligation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	30/06/2020	Economy	This instrument amends the references to 'exit day' in the Guarantees of Origin of Electricity Produced from High-Efficiency Cogeneration (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 ( the 2018 Guarantees of Origin SI ) and the Renewables Obligation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the 2019 Renewables Obligation SI ), to ensure that the drafting intent of these regulations is preserved, following the United Kingdom ™s withdrawal from the EU.
Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	30/06/2020	Economy	The Regulations make amendments to the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 to implement the Withdrawal Agreement that has been agreed with the EU. They amend the transitional and savings provisions contained in those regulations. The Regulations give effect to Article 67(3)(c) of the Withdrawal Agreement. This provides that the EU Insolvency Regulation ((EU) 2015/848) (the EUIR ) will continue to apply in respect of main proceedings opened before the IP Completion Date.
Vehicle Drivers (Certificates of Professional Competence) (Amendment) Regulations 2020	30/06/2020	Infrastructure	The instrument amends the Vehicle Drivers (Certificates of Professional Competence) Regulations 2007 ( the 2007 Regulations ) to (a) implement Directive (EU) 2018/645, which introduced changes to the certificate of professional competence (CPC) regime and (b) recognise CPCs issued by Switzerland.
Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Civil and Family) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/07/2020	Justice	This instrument is made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) to ensure there is a functioning domestic statute book at the end of the transition period. It amends the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the Civil Regulations), the Jurisdiction and Judgments (Family) (Amendment Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the Family Regulations), the Cross-Border Mediation (EU Directive) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the Mediation Regulations) and the Family Procedure Rules 2010 and Court of Protection Rules 2017 (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the Rules Regulations) to address minor defects in those instruments and to clarify the interaction of international conventions and domestic law after the end of the transition period. This Memorandum refers to ˜the end of the transition period ™ rather than to exit day , since while this instrument is not concerned with the references to exit day in the instruments which it amends, those references will be amended where necessary by a separate instrument or instruments made under powers in relation to implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement.
Online Intermediation Services for Business Users (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/07/2020	Justice	This instrument is required to help ensure that the UK has a functioning statute book at the end of the Transition Period. Under section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act 2018 ), directly effective EU legislation will be retained in UK law at the end of the Transition Period. This instrument makes amendments to the retained version of Regulation 2019/1150 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services ( the Online Intermediation Services Regulation ) to ensure that it functions correctly in domestic law at the end of the Transition Period.
Pressure Vessels (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/07/2020	Economy	The Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland in the withdrawal agreement ( the Protocol ) requires that the EU legislation listed in Annex 2 to that Protocol is implemented in Northern Ireland. Annex 2 includes Directive 2014/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of simple pressure vessels (OJ L 96, 29.3.201, p, 45) ( the SPV Directive ); it also includes Directive 2014/68/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of pressure equipment (OJ L 189, 27.6.201, p. 164) ( the PE Directive ). The SPV Directive was implemented on a UK wide basis by the Simple Pressure Vessels (Safety) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1092) ( SPV Regulations ). The PE Directive was similarly implemented on a UK wide basis by the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1105) ( the PE Regulations ). Both of these sets of Regulations have been amended by the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/696) to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union but those amendments prospectively (with effect from IP completion day) only extend to England and Wales and Scotland. These Regulations amend the SPV and PE Regulations in respect of Northern Ireland only to make sure that the SPV and PE Directives and the Protocol are implemented in respect of Northern Ireland.
Railways (Miscellaneous Amendments, Revocations and Transitional Provisions) (EU Exit) Regulations	02/07/2020	Infrastructure	This instrument is required to ensure that the UK continues to have a functioning statute book in force at the end of the transition period. Some, but not all, references to exit day will be replaced by IP completion day in: the Railways (Interoperability) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019; the Connecting Europe Facility (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019; the Train Driving Licences and Certificates (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the TDL Regulations ); the Railways (Safety, Access, Management and Interoperability) (Miscellaneous Amendments and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( Second Safety Regulations ) and the Cableway Installations (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. These changes are necessary because these instruments were made prior to exit day, and were due to come into force from that date onwards. As a result of the UK and the EU agreeing the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK has entered the transition period as part of its withdrawal from the EU which is why some references to exit day are no longer appropriate and need to be replaced by references to IP completion day . This instrument amends the TDL Regulations and Second Safety Regulations to ensure that all EU train driving licences, Part A safety certificates and single safety certificates (issued pursuant to Directive 2004/49/EC2 on the safety on the Community ™s railways and Directive (EU) 2016/7983 on railway safety (recast) respectively) are recognised for use in Great Britain up to 31st January 2022. It amends the Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 and the Rail Safety (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, to ensure that, where appropriate, the legislative framework takes account of EU documentation issued under Directive (EU) 2016/798 and makes further provision to ensure the recognition of Entities in Charge of Maintenance (ECM) certificates issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) No 445/20114 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/7795 which replaces the former during the transition period. These amendments also take account of any certificates issued in respect of crossborder services pursuant to the retained EU law version of that Regulation after IP completion day. Finally, this instrument revokes Regulation (EU) No 913/20106 concerning a European Rail Network for Competitive Freight and revokes Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/779 laying down detailed provisions on a system of certification of ECM, except in relation to vehicles operating a cross-border service.
Professional Qualifications and Services (Amendments and Miscellaneous Provisions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	06/07/2020	Economy	The Professional Qualifications and Services (Amendments and Miscellaneous Provisions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 ( this instrument ) implements into domestic law the Recognition of Professional Qualifications ( RPQ ) provisions in the EU Withdrawal Agreement, the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement and the Swiss Citizens ™ Rights Agreement (collectively, the Agreements ), that are not covered by existing RPQ EU Exit legislation. In addition, this instrument will also make changes to the domestic frameworks for RPQ and services, as follows: disapply certain retained directly effective EU treaty rights relating to RPQ and revoke three pieces of direct EU legislation that would otherwise be retained in domestic law by virtue of sections 4 and 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( EUWA ) respectively; make corrections to RPQ EU Exit legislation; change some references to ˜exit day ™ to account for the Transition Period ( TP ) in various RPQ and Services EU Exit legislation; and correct a transposition error in the European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015 ( the 2015 Regulations ).
Climate Change Agreements, CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	09/07/2020	Economy	The purpose of this statutory instrument is to make amendments in consequence of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c. 1). This instrument, made under the power in section 41(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 ( the WAA ), replaces references to exit day with references to IP completion day in the Climate Change Agreements (Amendment of Agreements) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1205), the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1336) and the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/1342). This instrument also makes supplemental provision relating to these amendments, using the power in paragraph 12 of Schedule 4 to the WAA. The instrument amends the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 to retain the provision in the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme Regulations 2014 for converting the financial threshold to euros with respect to a qualification date that falls before Implementation Period (IP) completion day.
Companies (Shareholders ™ Rights to Voting Confirmations) Regulations 2020	09/07/2020	Economy	These Regulations implement Directive (EU) 2017/828 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 amending Directive 2007/36/EC as regards the encouragement of long-term shareholder engagement (OJ L 132, 20.5.2017, p. 1) ( the Directive ) so far as it is not already given effect in United Kingdom law. The Directive amends Directive 2007/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the exercise of certain rights of shareholders in listed companies (OJ L 184, 14.7.2007, p. 17) ( the 2007 Directive ).
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020	13/07/2020	Economy	The purpose of this Order is to establish a UK-wide greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme (ETS), to encourage cost-effective emissions reductions which will contribute to the UK ™s emissions reduction targets and net zero goal. Policy positions for a UK ETS which is operational from 1st January 2021 have been agreed by the four Governments of the UK nations, and are set out in the Government Response to the Future of Carbon Pricing consultation, which was published on 1 June 2020. This is a policy replacement for the UK ™s participation in the EU Emissions Trading System, which will cease at the end of the Transition Period on 31 December 2020 (subject to the UK ™s obligations in the Withdrawal Agreement pursuant to Article 96(2) in respect of 2020 compliance and the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland). This would also allow for the possibility and consideration of a link between a UK ETS and the EU ETS, if it suited both sides ™ interests, in line with the UK Government ™s document on a future relationship with the EU.
Plant Breeders ™ Rights (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/07/2020	DAERA	This instrument amends the Plant Breeders ™ Rights (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/204) ( the 2019 Regulations ) and the Animal Health, Invasive Alien Species, Plant Breeders ™ Rights and Seeds (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1220). Together with the 2019 Regulations, this instrument implements the UK ™s obligation under the Withdrawal Agreement ( WA ) relating to Community plant variety rights ( CPVR ). Relatively few amendments are made by this instrument because the 2019 Regulations anticipated most of the provisions of the WA.
Services of Lawyers and Lawyer ™s Practice (Revocation etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/07/2020	Justice	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(c) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. They are also made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 12 and 14 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 which make provision for recognition of professional qualifications and equal treatment and provisions implementing the withdrawal agreement, the EEA EFTA separation agreement and the Swiss citizens ™ rights agreement (as those agreements are defined in section 39(1) of that Act), These Regulations revoke with some savings, legislation in the field of legal services in particular, legislation relating to the provision of legal services and the practice of law by European lawyers within England and Wales and Northern Ireland. The Schedule make consequential amendments and transitional provision.
Waste (Circular Economy) (Amendment) Regulations 2020	27/08/2020	DAERA	This instrument transposes (transfers requirements into UK law) six amending EU Directives in the field of waste. It amends the legislation that transposed Directive 2008/98/EC on waste ( the Waste Framework Directive ), Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste ( the Landfill Directive ), Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste ( the Packaging Directive ), three other waste related Directives in England and Wales, and some legislation that partially transposed the same Directives in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is making all the legislative changes required to transpose the 2020 Circular Economy Package (CEP) measures on behalf of England and Wales, apart from some amendments relating to hazardous waste which Defra is making for England only. The Welsh Government will be making a Wales-only SI to include amendments relating to hazardous waste, as well as updating references in several Wales-only SIs. Through amendments made to legislation that apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland, this instrument is partially transposing the 2020 CEP measures on behalf of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Further amendments to complete the transposition of the CEP will be made by Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	14/09/2020	Economy	The Statutory Instrument amends a previous Statutory Instrument that was introduced by the Government to ensure the UK ™s consumer protection regime continues to work effectively after the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. The Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/203) ( 2019 Exit Regulations ) deal with the collective redress regime for consumer protection. The aim of the 2019 Exit Regulations is to allow the UK collective redress regime to function effectively once the cross-border arrangements in the EU ™s CPC Regulation (2017/2394) and Injunctions Directive (2009/22/EC) no longer apply to the UK at the end of the transition period. The principal purpose of this instrument is to amend the 2019 Exit Regulations as a result of subsequent changes in the EU law and domestic law to which those Regulations relate. This instrument also amends other Exit Regulations in the consumer protection area, in connection with the Northern Ireland (NI) Protocol and to replace references to exit day with IP completion day . This instrument additionally amends Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (c. 40) in response to the Fourteenth Report of session 2019-21 of the House of Lords and House of Commons Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI) relating to the Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/484).
Fertilisers and Ammonium Nitrate Material (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	16/09/2020	DAERA	These Regulations make amendments to the Fertilisers and Ammonium Nitrate Material (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. They substitute references to exit day with references to IP completion day .
The European Qualifications (Health & Social Care Professions) (EFTA States) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	17/09/2020	Health/FSA	This Statutory Instrument supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament on 22 July 2020 and withdrawn on 17 September 2020. The main purpose of the European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (EFTA States) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 is to implement parts of the Swiss Citizens ™ Rights Agreement and EEA EFTA Separation Agreement concerning recognition of professional qualifications ( RPQ ) of health and care professionals that are not covered by existing ˜no deal ™ RPQ legislation. This will be achieved by making amendments to the European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/593) and the European Qualifications (Pharmacists) (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2019 (SI 2019/585), collectively referred to as the 2019 EU Exit Regulations . The amendments made by this instrument in relation to implementing provisions of the Swiss Citizens ™ Rights Agreement and EEA EFTA Separation Agreement are transitional and savings provisions, and will not affect any ongoing system of recognition contained in various other pieces of RPQ legislation. In addition, this instrument will make minor corrections to the 2019 EU Exit Regulations. As a result of this instrument containing corrections, having consulted with the SI Registrar, this instrument is being published under the free issue procedure.
Environment (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	24/09/2020	DAERA	This instrument makes amendments to environmental laws to address minor errors and to ensure they continue to operate effectively after the end of the implementation period. It also makes necessary amendments to directly applicable retained EU law. Regulations 2, 3 and 4 make changes to secondary legislation that implemented EU environmental laws relating to air quality and endangered species. Regulations 5 and 6 make minor changes to Regulations made under section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, relating to air quality and chemicals.
Taking Account of Convictions (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2020	24/09/2020	Justice	The purpose of this instrument is to implement the separation provision on taking account of convictions, set out in the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community ( the withdrawal agreement ). The withdrawal agreement provides for a Transition Period ( TP ) following the UK ™s withdrawal from the European Union ( EU ) on 31 January 2020. This instrument amends domestic legislation to implement Article 62(1)(g) of Part 3, Title V of the withdrawal agreement. That Article sets out the separation provision that preserves the application of Council Framework Decision 2008/675/JHA of 24 July 2008 on taking account of convictions in the member States of the European Union ( the TAC Framework Decision ) in respect of any criminal proceedings instituted, but not concluded, before IP completion day (i.e. the day on which the TP ends).
Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	28/09/2020	Health/FSA	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8(1) and 8C of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16). They deal with matters arising out of, or related to, the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the EU Withdrawal Agreement ( the Protocol ). These Regulations amend the Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/41) to take account of the inclusion of Directive 2014/40/EU in Annex 2 to the Protocol. The amendments are needed to ensure that the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (which implemented the Directive) (S.I. 2016/507) will continue to function after IP completion day, and also to update the transitional provision made to allow certain products that have been placed on the market in the United Kingdom before IP completion day to continue to be supplied in Great Britain on and after that day. These Regulations also amend the Electronic Cigarettes (Fees) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/521) and the Tobacco and Related Products (Fees) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2019/409) so that a single notification and annual reporting fee remains payable if a product is to be supplied in both Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Nutrition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	29/09/2020	Health/FSA	The purpose of this instrument is to: First, reflect the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland (NIP) by amending The Nutrition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and revoking The Nutrition (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019; and secondly, remedy deficiencies in retained European Union (EU) legislation relating to nutrition.
State Aid (Revocations and Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	29/09/2020	Economy	The purpose of this instrument is to disapply EU law relating to State aid that is retained in the UK by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act). The overall effect is to ensure that EU State aid law does not form part of UK domestic law as retained EU law after the end of the transition period. This instrument does not affect the application of the State aid provisions in the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Jurisdiction, Judgments and Applicable Law (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	30/09/2020	Justice	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) and 8B(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order (a) to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies in retained EU law (under section 8(2)(c) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union; and (b) to make provision in relation to the withdrawal agreement.
Reciprocal and Cross-Border Healthcare (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	30/09/2020	Health/FSA	The purpose of this instrument is to address deficiencies in retained EU law relating to reciprocal healthcare in the UK and to make related provision. This instrument will ensure that the UK statute book will function correctly after the Implementation Period ( ˜IP ™) and will make savings provisions to protect, so far as possible, certain patients in a transitional situation at the end of the Implementation Period. This instrument is made under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the Healthcare (European Economic Area and Switzerland Arrangements) Act 2019.
Agriculture (Payments) (Amendment, etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	05/10/2020	DAERA	The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( the Withdrawal Act ) converts and preserves EU law at the end of the transition period between the UK and the EU into domestic law ( retained EU law ). If retained EU law relating to the Common Agricultural Policy ( CAP ) was not amended, it would contain inoperable rules that would prevent the UK government and the Devolved Administrations from being able to deliver agricultural and market support schemes currently run under the CAP to the agricultural sector. This instrument uses powers in the Withdrawal Act to correct these deficiencies. The EU Exit SIs being amended would not have the right effect as they would not reflect the change in the legislative position following the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU, the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 and amendments which have been made to EU Regulations since the EU Exit SIs were made. In relation to public intervention and private storage aid, the amendments made by the EU Exit SIs would have the wrong effect operationally if not amended. This instrument makes a number of changes: Firstly, this instrument makes provision to clarify the position of certain EU Regulations which were incorporated into domestic law with effect from exit day insofar as relating to direct payments and incorporated with effect from the end of the transition period ( IP completion day ) for remaining purposes, and amends or revokes a number of earlier EU Exit SIs to reflect that those SIs will not apply in relation to direct payments following the withdrawal agreement and the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020 and regulations made under it. Secondly, this instrument makes some limited amendments to previous EU Exit SIs where retained EU law is affected by the Northern Ireland Protocol. Thirdly, this instrument makes amendments to previous EU Exit SIs to ensure UK paying agencies are able to continue complying with EU rules for the purposes of Article 138 of the Withdrawal Agreement. Fourthly, this instrument amends previous rural development EU Exit SIs, which were made before a Withdrawal Agreement was signed between the UK and the EU, and which now consequently need to be updated to reflect the new position; a small number of additional amendments are made in order to ensure rural development rules continue to function effectively at the end of the transition period. Fifthly, this instrument makes amendments to earlier EU Exit SIs that set rules for Public Intervention ( PI ) and Private Storage Aid ( PSA ) schemes set out in the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets ( CMO ) regime. These amendments will ensure provisions relating to the setting of prices for the intervention tendering process can be run administratively, which is in keeping with domestic processes and will allow relevant authorities to mirror the current system of administering PI and PSA as closely as possible at the end of the transition period, to ensure producers and operators do not experience any change in how the schemes are run immediately after the end of the transition period. Sixthly, this instrument makes a small number of minor drafting amendments to update drafting and correct errors and oversights in earlier EU Exit SIs, for example missed cross-references that needed amending and substituting a reference to Pounds Sterling for a reference to Euro. Seventhly, this instrument amends retained EU law concerning producer groups, producer organisations, notifications in the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors, and notifications of agricultural market information to domestic authorities. These amendments should be read in conjunction with The Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Producer Organisations and Wine) (Amendment Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 which also make operability corrections to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2017/891 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2017/892. The EU Exit SIs and EU regulations amended by this instrument are: the Common Agricultural Policy (Financing, Management and Monitoring) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/763); the Common Agricultural Policy (Financing, Management and Monitoring Supplementary Provisions) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/765); the Agriculture (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/748); the Common Agricultural Policy and Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1405); the Common Agricultural Policy and Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/733); the Rural Development (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/764); the Rural Development (Rules and Decisions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/770); the European Structural Investment Funds (Common Provisions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/785); the Market Measures Payment Schemes (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/823); the Agriculture (Legislative Functions) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/831); the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1402); the Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products and Common Agricultural Policy (Miscellaneous Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) (No.2) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1422); Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors; Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors and supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to penalties to be applied in those sectors and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011; Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 concerning producer groups, producer organisations and notifications in the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors; and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1185 relating to notifications of agricultural market information to domestic authorities. The EU Exit SIs revoked by this instrument are: the Common Agricultural Policy (Direct Payments to Farmers) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/207); the Common Agricultural Policy (Rules for Direct Payments) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/208); regulation 2 of the Common Agricultural Policy and Market Measures (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/812); and part 4 of the Food and Farming (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/759).
Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Producer Organisations and Wine) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	05/10/2020	DAERA	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (g)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. The SI substantially replaces provision made in S.I. 2019/1343, the Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products (Producer Organisations and Wine) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, the scrutiny period for which expired on 7 January 2020 without the instrument having been approved. Part 2 of these Regulations makes amendments to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 880/2012 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/232 concerning transnational cooperation. It also amends provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council in relation to protected geographical indications, protected designations of origin and traditional terms in the wine sector. It also makes amendments to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 concerning producer organisations and notifications in the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. Part 3 amends the Common Organisation of the Markets in Agricultural Products and Common Agricultural Policy (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 to replace a reference to exit day with IP completion day, to provide more detail on the appeal mechanism, and to revoke a provision which is replaced by this instrument. Part 4 revokes certain implementing acts relating to EU wine designations of origin, geographical indications, and traditional terms.
Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	07/10/2020	Executive Office	This instrument is being made in order to address deficiencies in retained EU law in relation to public procurement arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU) and to give effect to Title 8 of Part 3 of the Withdrawal Agreement and Title 5 of Part 3 of the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement (together, the relevant withdrawal provisions), to ensure that retained EU law in the field of public procurement operates effectively after the Implementation Period ends on 31 December 2020. This instrument revokes the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (2019/560) (the 2019 EU Exit Regulations) and the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 (2019/623) (which amends the 2019 EU Exit Regulations) before they come into force. Those Regulations were made before the UK and EU had entered into the Withdrawal Agreement or the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement.
Blood Safety and Quality (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	Health/FSA	On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU). The Withdrawal Agreement agreed with the EU entered into force. The Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol ( ˜the Protocol ™) in the Withdrawal Agreement sets out the EU law that will continue to apply to and in Northern Ireland (NI) after the end of the Implementation Period. This includes the EU Blood Directive (2002/98/EC), EU Tissues and Cells Directive (2004/23/EC), and EU Organs Directive (2010/53/EU) (including the Commission implementing directives). This means that NI must continue to meet the requirements of the Directives for as long as the Protocol is in force. Four instruments make the changes needed to allow NI to meet these requirements. These four SIs are: the Blood Safety and Quality (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. These four SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation but each one brings forward very similar provisions. It is proposed that these instruments are grouped and debated together.
European Union Withdrawal (Consequential Modifications) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	Executive Office	The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that the UK statute book works coherently and effectively following the end of the transition period. It clarifies how certain terms, including EU-related definitions, should be interpreted in domestic legislation on or after IP completion day. As part of this, the instrument clarifies how cross references to EU legislation should be read. The instrument makes technical repeals to redundant provisions within primary legislation arising from the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ( EUWA ). These are primarily repeals of amending provisions, in particular relating to the European Communities Act 1972 ( the ECA ), where EUWA has already provided for the repeal of the amended provisions. The purpose of the repeals in these Regulations is to tidy up the statute book and they have no substantive effect. The instrument amends the Interpretation Act 1978 (and the devolved equivalents) in relation to the interpretation of references to relevant separation agreement law . The instrument also amends EUWA to provide for how existing references to EU instruments that form part of relevant separation agreement law and how existing nonambulatory references to direct EU legislation should be read. It also makes consequential amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Consequential Modifications and Repeals and Revocations) (EU Exit) Regulations 20191 (S.I. 2019/628) ( the 2019 Regulations ) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Qualifying EU Provisions) Order 2013. The instrument makes new interpretation provisions in light of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (WAA), to remove uncertainty about which version of an EU instrument applies, whether the retained version or the version applied by the Withdrawal Agreement. The instrument provides a general gloss to ensure that the correct interpretation of the EU instrument applies. SIs being prepared by other departments in order to implement the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Northern Ireland Protocol are relying on these glosses. These SIs are required for IP completion day.
Food (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	DAERA	The main purpose of this instrument is to place the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement ( the Protocol ) on a legal footing for food labelling and Natural Mineral Waters (NMW) as required at the end of the Implementation Period. It also makes some minor technical amendments to domestic regulations and retained direct EU legislation to ensure the operability of this legislation at the end of the Implementation Period.
Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	Health/FSA	On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU). The Withdrawal Agreement agreed with the EU entered into force. The Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol ( ˜the Protocol ™) in the Withdrawal Agreement sets out the EU law that will continue to apply to and in Northern Ireland (NI) after the end of the Implementation Period. This includes the EU Blood Directive (2002/98/EC), EU Tissues and Cells Directive (2004/23/EC), and EU Organs Directive (2010/53/EU) (including the Commission implementing directives). This means that NI must continue to meet the requirements of the Directives for as long as the Protocol is in force. Four instruments make the changes needed to allow NI to meet these requirements. These four SIs are: the Blood Safety and Quality (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. These four SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation but each one brings forward very similar provisions. It is proposed that these instruments are grouped and debated together.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	DAERA	This instrument makes the necessary corrections to ensure that Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Persistent Organic Pollutants ( POPs ) functions in Great Britain after the end of the Implementation Period. This instrument also makes amendments for purposes relating to the implementation of the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland ( the Protocol ).
Pesticides (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	DAERA	This instrument makes a number of amendments to earlier EU Exit SIs that convert EU legislation (which forms the plant protection product ( PPP ) and maximum residue level ( MRL ) regulatory regimes) into national law, to reflect when EU law ceases to apply and retained EU law comes into force at the end of the implementation period, thereby ensuring that the national regime will operate effectively. Most of the amendments are required as a result of new EU legislation that has come into force shortly prior to and during the implementation period, and so was not addressed by our earlier EU Exit SIs. This instrument also makes amendments as a result of the Northern Ireland Protocol ( NIP ) where the EU PPP and MRL regimes will continue to apply, therefore legislative changes are required to remove Northern Ireland from the retained EU legislation so that the new PPP and MRL regime applies in Great Britain only, rather than UK-wide.
Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	08/10/2020	Health/FSA	On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union (EU). The Withdrawal Agreement agreed with the EU entered into force. The Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol ( ˜the Protocol ™) in the Withdrawal Agreement sets out the EU law that will continue to apply to and in Northern Ireland (NI) after the end of the Implementation Period. This includes the EU Blood Directive (2002/98/EC), EU Tissues and Cells Directive (2004/23/EC), and EU Organs Directive (2010/53/EU) (including the Commission implementing directives). This means that NI must continue to meet the requirements of the Directives for as long as the Protocol is in force. Four instruments make the changes needed to allow NI to meet these requirements. These four SIs are: the Blood Safety and Quality (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Quality and Safety of Organs Intended for Transplantation (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020; and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. These four SIs have been drafted separately as each amends different underlying legislation but each one brings forward very similar provisions. It is proposed that these instruments are grouped and debated together.
Environment and Wildlife (Miscellaneous Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	12/10/2020	DAERA/Protocol	The purpose of this instrument is to implement the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement ( the Protocol ) in the context of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ( CITES ), as required at the end of the Transition Period. This will be done by making changes to the UK's existing CITES regime, comprised primarily of retained EU law ( REUL ), insofar as it will operate in Great Britain, to ensure that the relevant EU regulations can continue to be properly implemented in Northern Ireland. We are laying this instrument now in order to facilitate separate CITES regimes in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. This will be achieved by making amendments to retained EU law and relevant domestic regulations to take into account the coming into force of the Protocol. This instrument also makes outstanding operability changes to REUL and will consolidate previous EU Exit SIs made in the context of CITES in order to make REUL clearer and more accessible to end users.
Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type-Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	12/10/2020	Transport/Protocol	These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type-Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/648) ( the 2019 Regulations ). These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8(1) and 8C of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies, and to give effect to the United Kingdom ™s obligations under the protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland to the EU withdrawal agreement ( the Protocol ). The 2019 Regulations made temporary amendments to legislation in the field of type approval for road vehicles and non-road mobile machinery and, in particular, provide for an interim arrangement allowing the Secretary of State, or Northern Ireland Department, to issue type approval certificates to holders of EU type approval granted other than in the United Kingdom and (in respect of road vehicles) for those type approval certificates to be the basis for the issue of certificates of conformity used for the purposes of vehicle registration. These interim arrangements are to have effect for a period of two years. These Regulations amend the interim arrangements, following the inclusion of the relevant EU Type Approval legislation in Annex 2 to the Protocol, so that they continue to operate effectively Great Britain and also to allow vehicles which are qualifying Northern Ireland goods to be registered in Great Britain. The 2019 Regulations are also amended to allow various engines, components and technical units within scope of the type approval legislation to be entered into service or placed on the market in Great Britain if they comply with the relevant legislative requirements as they apply in member States or Northern Ireland. These arrangements will also have effect for a period of two years. These Regulations also make necessary consequential amendments to other related legislation. These Regulations also amend Commission Regulation (EU) 1230/2012 of 12 December 2012 implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to type-approval requirements for masses and dimensions of motor vehicles and their trailers (OJ L. No 353 21.12.20012, p.31). This amendment is to allow for the type approval in Great Britain of vehicles within scope of that Regulation which have a height exceeding 4 metres.
Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	13/10/2020	Economy / Protocol	This SI fixes deficiencies in retained EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling legislation to ensure that this law remains fully operable in the UK after the end of the transition period. With regards to energy labels specifically, some of the requirements apply during the transition period (and will become retained EU law) and some of the requirements apply after the transition period (and will not form part of retained EU law). This SI makes fixes to address this. Secondly, this SI amends the Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( the first EU Exit SI ) to take into account changes made to EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling legislation since the first EU Exit SI was laid. Thirdly, this SI will implement the Northern Ireland Protocol (NI Protocol) and deliver unfettered access for qualifying NI goods on the GB market. To ensure full legislative implementation of the NI Protocol, it amends the first EU Exit SI and underlying legislation so that certain UK-wide provisions are limited to GB only and bespoke fixes for Northern Ireland (NI) are implemented where necessary. EU Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Regulations will continue to apply directly in NI after the transition period. Finally, this SI will account for labelling and marking requirements from the end of the transition period. It limits the recognition of CE marking to 12 months from 1 January 2021. In addition, it ensures that energy labels bear the UK flag and text from 1 January 2021 in place of the EU flag and any EU language text.
Law Enforcement and Security (Separation Issues etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	13/10/2020	Justice	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8(1), 8B(1) and (2) and 23(1) and (2) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) ( the Withdrawal Act ), and section 41(1) and (5) of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c. 1). Chapter 9 of Part 2 of these Regulations (extradition) is also made in part in reliance on various powers in the Extradition Act 2003 (c. 41). Part 2 of these Regulations amends the Law Enforcement and Security (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/742) ( the law enforcement regulations ), and Part 3 amends the Criminal Justice (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/780) ( the criminal justice regulations ). These instruments were the means by which amendment was made to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and to make savings and transitional provision in respect of certain law enforcement matters and procedures which had begun but not been completed before the end of the transitional period. The purpose of these Regulations is to amend the law enforcement regulations and the criminal justice regulations in light of Title V and, in so far as it relates to police and judicial cooperation, Title VII of Part 3 of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community ( the withdrawal agreement ). Title V makes provisions in respect of ongoing police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, relating to certain EU instruments for law enforcement cooperation and information exchange. Title VII makes provision in respect of data and information processed or obtained before the end of the transition period or in relation to ongoing proceedings under the withdrawal agreement. Similar provisions are made in Title III and Title IV of Part 3 of the Agreement on arrangements between Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Kingdom of Norway and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the EEA Agreement and other agreements applicable between the United Kingdom and the EEA EFTA States by virtue of the United Kingdom ™s membership of the European Union ( the EEA EFTA separation agreement ) . These provisions are referred to in both agreements as other separation issues . Generally, the other separation issues preserve the application of particular EU measures in respect of any matters or procedures begun (but not completed) before the end of the transition period. In addition, they preserve the applicable law on personal data and confidential treatment and restricted use of data and information, in respect of data and information stocks accrued or exchanged in relation to those transitional cases. By virtue of sections 7A and 7C of the Withdrawal Act, rights, powers, obligations, remedies etc as they arise or are created from time to time in the withdrawal agreement are given legal effect in the legal system of the United Kingdom (and sections 7B and 7C make similar provision in relation to the EEA EFTA separation agreement). Additionally, these Regulations make further provision to address deficiencies in retained EU law (in particular under section 8(2)(a) to (d) and (g) of the Withdrawal Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, in relation to EU law in the law enforcement and security sphere that has come into force since the law enforcement regulations were made, or where further deficiencies in existing retained EU law have been identified.
Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (UK(NI) Indication) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	13/10/2020	Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy	The two main purposes of this instrument are firstly to ensure that, with respect to product safety and metrology, the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the Withdrawal Agreement ( the Protocol ) is implemented, including provisions with regard to the UK(NI) Indication and unfettered access for qualifying Northern Ireland goods. Its second main purpose is to re-correct deficiencies arising out of the United Kingdom ™s withdrawal from the European Union. This instrument does this by setting out the form of the UK(NI) Indication in Schedule 1 and by making amendments to EU Exit legislation, which is not yet in force, as well as making amendments to a number of pieces of product safety and metrology legislation (which covers products ranging from lifts and machinery to toys and cosmetics) as they apply in Northern Ireland on the one hand and Great Britain on the other. The instrument will complement changes being made by other (negative) statutory instruments which will provide a product safety and metrology framework for Northern Ireland that meets the terms of the Protocol.
Common Fisheries Policy (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	14/10/2020	DAERA	The Common Fisheries Policy ( CFP ) imposes a common approach to the sustainable management of fisheries across the EU and its waters. A number of statutory instruments made in 2019 under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 made amendments to EU CFP legislation that was scheduled to become ˜retained EU law ™ on exit day. The amendments were intended to ensure the retained CFP legislation would operate effectively upon the UK ™s withdrawal from the EU. Following ratification of the EU withdrawal agreement, EU CFP legislation will now become retained EU law at the end of the Transition Period and this instrument is required to ensure retained EU law operates effectively from that point. This instrument is required in relation to three categories of amendments: a) Amendments required to account for new EU CFP legislation which has come into force since the previous amending statutory instruments were drafted in preparation for exit day. b) Amendments required in consequence of the EU withdrawal agreement. c) Amendments to previous amending statutory instruments, including amendments to correct minor errors.
Food and Feed Hygiene and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	14/10/2020	NI Protocol / Food Standards Agency	The purpose of this instrument is to: implement the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland ( NIP ) by amending or revoking the 17 EU Exit instruments in the field of food and food safety to apply to Great Britain only, and additional instruments made in respect of Northern Ireland; address a range of remaining deficiencies in retained EU law ( REUL ) in the field of food and feed safety and hygiene to ensure the operability of REUL at the end of the Implementation Period, and to take account of EU law that has come into force since the 17 EU Exit instruments were made.
Hazardous Substances and Packaging (Legislative Functions and Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	14/10/2020	NI Protocol	This instrument transfers legislative functions that are currently conferred upon the European Commission by Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment ( the RoHS Directive ), to be exercisable instead by the Secretary of State in relation to England and Wales and Scotland after the end of the EU Exit transition period. It amends the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/2032) ( the RoHS Regulations ) as they apply in England and Wales and Scotland, to set out in domestic legislation a list of restricted substances and tables of exemptions from the restriction in regulation 3(1) of those Regulations, corresponding with provisions in the RoHS Directive. It also makes amendments to the RoHS Regulations and the Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1640) ( the Packaging Regulations ) to help ensure the UK meets its obligations under the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement ( the Protocol ) in respect of placing on the market requirements for packaging and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Human Medicines (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	20/10/2020	Health	This instrument amends: The Human Medicines (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/775) (the 2019 Regulations); the Human Medicines and Medical Devices (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/1385) (the Second 2019 Regulations); the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/744) (the Clinical Trials 2019 Regulations); and the Good Laboratory Practice Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3106). The 2019 Regulations and the Second 2019 Regulations (together the 2019 SIs) and the Clinical Trials 2019 Regulations make significant amendments to the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/1916) (the HMRs), the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1031) (the Clinical Trials Regulations) and the Medicines (Products for Human Use) (Fees) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/190) (the Fees Regulations). Those amendments were intended to ensure that the Regulations were fit for purpose in a no deal EU Exit scenario. The HMRs, the Clinical Trials Regulations and the Fees Regulations will remain the basis for the regulation of medicines and clinical trials in Great Britain (GB) after 1 January 2021. This instrument amends the Regulations set out above in order that the HMRs, the Clinical Trials Regulations and the Fees Regulations will continue to be effective at the end of the Implementation Period for the purposes set out below. This instrument will amend how medicines and clinical trials will be regulated in Northern Ireland (NI) and in GB at the end of the Implementation Period, taking account the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP).
Import of, and Trade in, Animals and Animal Products (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	20/10/2020	DAERA	These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) (in particular under section 8(2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g)) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Part 2 contains amendments to various statutory instruments relating to imports of animals, germinal products and animal products. Part 3 contains amendments to retained direct EU legislation relating to imports of those products. Part 4 contains general transitional and saving provision to enable the continued use, from IP completion day, for transitional purposes, of model forms of certificates as provided for in EU law as it had effect before IP completion day. It also contains a power to amend, by regulations, the date on which those transitional provisions, and the transitional provisions in regulation 26(3) of the Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1197) cease to have effect. Part 4 and the Schedule also contain revocations of various instruments.
Waste and Environmental Permitting etc. (Legislative Functions and Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	20/10/2020	DAERA	This instrument amends a number of existing EU Exit SIs to ensure that the legislation amended by those instruments will continue to operate effectively at the end of the Transition Period and makes EU Exit related amendments to, or revokes, some recent EU legislation which will become retained direct EU law. It also makes amendments to primary and subordinate domestic legislation for similar purposes. It also includes some technical amendments to EU Exit SIs that are needed in consequence of the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement (the Protocol"). This instrument also transfers some functions from the European Commission to the Secretary of State and the Devolved Administrations.
Air Quality (Amendment) (Northern Ireland Protocol) (EU Exit) (Revocation) Regulations 2020	21/10/2020	DAERA	This instrument revokes the Air Quality (Amendment) (Northern Ireland Protocol) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1132) which was made in error before receipt of formal consent from Northern Ireland was obtained.
Animal Welfare and Invasive Non-native Species (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/10/2020	DAERA	This instrument will ensure that retained European Union (EU) legislation and domestic implementing legislation relating to the protection of animals at the time of their killing, during transport and the criteria for animals being kept in control posts; the use of leghold traps, the import of pelts and manufactured goods of certain wild animal species; and the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive non-native species remains operable now that we have left the EU. The proposed changes will ensure that the strict protections that are in place are maintained by addressing failures of EU law to operate effectively, as well as other deficiencies, arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. This instrument includes provisions related to EU Exit for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as changes to domestic enforcement legislation for the United Kingdom. Changes to retained EU legislation (EU legislation preserved in UK law for legal continuity after EU Exit) and domestic (UK developed) legislation are being made in order to implement the Northern Ireland Protocol of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (the Withdrawal Agreement). Furthermore, the changes ensure that imports of pelts and pelt products from the EU will be treated the same as imports from any other third country. This change is in line with wider government policy regarding the United Kingdom™s exit from the EU. This instrument also includes provisions to improve enforcement, which will enable enforcement officers to use discretion when transferring seized specimens to appropriate facilities, ensure the civil sanction provisions work as intended, and enable the effective implementation of emergency measures under domestic legislation for invasive non-native species.
The Customs Safety, Security and Economic Operators Registration and Identification (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/10/2020	Finance	This instrument forms part of legislation to ensure the United Kingdom (UK) has a customs safety and security regime in place at the end of the transition period following the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU). It introduces a temporary waiver on the requirement for Entry Summary (ENS) declarations from countries that do not currently require them, and changes the timing requirement for the submission of a pre-arrival ENS for all short sea journeys, and a pre-departure Exit Summary (EXS) declaration for short containerised sea journeys. The instrument also removes duplication between existing statutory instruments and maintains the power to require registration for an Economic Operators Registration Identification (EORI) number in certain other circumstances which was omitted from a previous statutory instrument.
The European Union Withdrawal (Consequential Modifications) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	21/10/2020	Executive Office	This Statutory Instrument supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament on 8 October 2020. The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that the UK statute book works coherently and effectively following the end of the transition period. It clarifies how certain terms, including EU-related definitions, should be interpreted in domestic legislation on or after IP completion day. As part of this, the instrument clarifies how cross references to EU legislation should be read. The instrument makes technical repeals to redundant provisions within primary legislation arising from the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA). These are primarily repeals of amending provisions, in particular relating to the European Communities Act 1972 (the ECA), where EUWA has already provided for the repeal of the amended provisions. The purpose of the repeals in these Regulations is to tidy up the statute book and they have no substantive effect. The instrument amends the Interpretation Act 1978 (and the devolved equivalents) in relation to the interpretation of references to relevant separation agreement law. The instrument also amends EUWA to provide for how existing references to EU instruments that form part of relevant separation agreement law and how existing nonambulatory references to direct EU legislation should be read. It also makes consequential amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Consequential Modifications and Repeals and Revocations) (EU Exit) Regulations 20191 (S.I. 2019/628) (the 2019 Regulations). The instrument makes new interpretation provisions in light of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (WAA), to remove uncertainty about which version of an EU instrument applies, whether the retained version or the version applied by the Withdrawal Agreement. The instrument provides a general gloss to ensure that the correct interpretation of the EU instrument applies. SIs being prepared by other departments in order to implement the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Northern Ireland Protocol are relying on these glosses. These SIs are required for IP completion day.
Agricultural Products, Food and Drink (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	22/10/2020	DAERA	Primarily, this instrument will amend retained EU legislation to introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for Geographical Indication (GI) schemes in the UK. This instrument also makes operability amendments for wines and spirits sector standards (non-GI). On GI schemes, this instrument corrects the retained EU Regulations that will form the legal basis for three of four schemes in Great Britain (GB) at the end of the transition period, plus amendments needed for operation of the wine GI scheme. This includes providing continued protection in GB of established UK GIs, and non-UK GIs recognised under the EU GI schemes on 31st December 2020. This instrument reflects the position of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement (the Protocol). This means, for the duration of the Protocol, the territorial extent of the new GI schemes will not include Northern Ireland, which remains under the EU rules. However, as the schemes will be administered and regulated by the UK Government, they are referred to as the ˜UK GI Schemes™ for the remainder of this document (whilst references to the schemes™ territorial extent are to GB).
Common Fisheries Policy (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2020	22/10/2020	DAERA	The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) imposes a common approach to the sustainable management of fisheries across the European Union and its waters. Several provisions of the CFP are included in Annex 2 to the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland in the EU Withdrawal Agreement (the Protocol) and will therefore be directly applicable in the UK in respect of Northern Ireland from the end of the transition period. This instrument makes amendments to domestic law, retained EU law and previous amendments to retained EU law, all in the field of the CFP, ensuring the legislation operates effectively for the UK outside of the European Union to account for the inclusion of that legislation in Annex 2 to the Protocol.
Law Enforcement and Security (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	22/10/2020	Executive Office	This instrument will ensure that Northern Ireland will continue to implement EU law required by the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland to the Withdrawal Agreement (the Protocol) relating to explosives precursors and firearms.
Animals, Aquatic Animal Health, Invasive Alien Species, Plant Propagating Material and Seeds (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to ensure that legislation relating to animal and aquatic health, invasive alien species, plant propagating material and seeds remains operable following the Withdrawal Agreement, the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland (the Protocol), and recent updates to EU law. The amendments in this instrument are technical in nature with no changes to policy. The amendments made by this instrument will address deficiencies in domestic legislation including previously made EU Exit legislation, e.g. by removing references to EU institutions that are no longer appropriate; removing obligations to report to, or seek approval from, the European Commission; and removing provisions relating to reciprocal arrangements and provisions that will no longer exist or operate following the end of the transition period. In addition, the instrument will: amend retained EU law; replace references to the EU™s Trade Control and Export System (TRACES) with references to the UK™s new system for import notifications and controls, the Imports of Products, Animals, Food and Feed System (IPAFFS); remove transitional measures which expire at the end of the Transition Period; make operability changes to recent amendments to EU law that were settled in the EU too late to be covered by the earlier EU Exit legislation; make reference to the special transitional import arrangements set out in Schedule 5 to the England Trade Regulations or equivalent provisions in the Wales Trade Regulations or the Scotland Trade Regulations, and the new Annex 6 to the Official Controls Regulation (EU) 2017/625; apply a reciprocal approach to the EU, in particular so that EU breed societies are subject to the same recognition and listing process as third country breeding bodies by the UK as the EU is applying to UK breed societies post Transition Period. This is subject to a six month transitional period during which EU breed societies will be automatically listed by the UK; make a few very minor corrections to drafting errors in earlier EU Exit SIs; and make minor amendments to domestic legislation using section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 in order to ensure regimes can be made operable at the end of the Transition Period.
Aquatic Animal Health & Alien Species in Aquaculture, Animals, & Marketing of Seed, Plant & Propagating Material (Legislative Functions & Misc Provisions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	DAERA	This instrument provides for legislative functions that are currently conferred by European Union (EU) legislation upon the European Commission (the Commission) and the Council of the European Union (the Council) to be exercisable instead by appropriate authorities in Great Britain (GB), so that they can be exercised at national level after the end of the transition period. It amends previously made EU Exit statutory instruments (EU Exit SIs) in order to reflect the change in legislative position following the Withdrawal Agreement, the Protocol of Ireland / Northern Ireland (the Protocol). It also makes amendments to reflect changes to EU Regulations since the EU Exit SIs were made and for new directly applicable EU legislation that will be retained and must be made operable. This instrument contains provisions relating to seven policy areas: seed, plant and plant propagating material; aquatic animal health; Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs) and Animal By-Products (ABPs); livestock; zoonotic diseases; pet travel; and the use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture.
Energy Information (Amendment) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	Infrastructure	The purpose of this instrument is to amend the table at paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 of the Energy Information Regulations 2011 (the 2011 Regulations). This table lists the EU energy labelling measures that currently have effect, and that can therefore be enforced by the UK market surveillance authorities (MSAs) under the 2011 Regulations. This instrument adds to the table new energy labelling measures coming into force from 1 November 2020 pursuant to Commission Delegated Regulations made under the EU Energy Labelling Framework Regulation (EU) 2017/1369. Transitional provisions in most of the new Commission Delegated Regulations came into force on the 25 December 2019 to allow manufacturers to make the product information sheet available through the EU product database (EPREL), but the substantive provisions relating to the design of the labels and the information they provide come into force on 1 November 2020 or 1 March 2021. This instrument will provide MSAs with the legal basis to enforce new energy labelling requirements for: household washer-dryers, household washing machines, household dishwashers, household refrigerating appliances and electronic displays. This instrument will not be in force by the 1 November 2020, and so there will be an enforcement gap of a few weeks. However, as products take many months to go through product design, testing and distribution, and energy labels are prepared well in advance of sale, the risk that companies may take advantage of this temporary lack of enforcement is very low.
Official Controls (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health etc.) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to make amendments to existing EU retained Regulations governing official controls on imports to Great Britain of animals and animal products, plants and plant products, including food and other imports relevant to the agri-food chain “ collectively known as ˜sanitary and phyto-sanitary™ (SPS) checks. Official controls are performed at appropriately designated border control points and other points of entry, and may also be carried out at other locations, such as slaughterhouses, to verify the compliance of imported SPS goods with Official Controls Regulations (OCR). These controls are integral to the protection of human health and biosecurity in the UK, as they deliver a risk-based and closely defined regime for checking the provenance, health and lack of contamination of SPS goods before they are allowed to pass beyond the control points at the UK border. This instrument rectifies legal deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union which, if not amended, would prevent our existing, established and harmonised system of official controls on SPS imports from being able to operate after the end of the Implementation Period. For example, references in retained EU Official Controls Regulations to legislative functions of the European Commission, are amended to be exercisable instead by the UK Secretary of State or the appropriate authority of the UK Devolved Administrations. These are termed operability amendments.
Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland (Democratic Consent Process) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	Executive Office	Article 18 of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland to the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union makes provision for consent to be provided by the Northern Ireland Assembly to the continued application of Articles 5 to 10 of that Protocol. Consent must be given every 4 or 8 years depending whether it is given on a simple majority or cross-community basis. These Regulations make provision for that democratic consent process. They do so by inserting a new Schedule 6A in the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (c. 47). Part 3 of that Schedule makes provision for the process that will apply in circumstances where there is a functioning Northern Ireland Executive. Part 4 makes provision for the process that will apply in circumstances where there is not a functioning Executive in place. This is consistent with the undertaking made by the United Kingdom Government in its declaration concerning the operation of the Democratic consent in Northern Ireland provision of the Protocol made on 17 October 2019 (unilateral Declaration). Where consent is given on a simple majority rather than cross-community basis, then Part 6 of new Schedule 6A requires the Secretary of State to commission an independent review into the functioning of the Protocol and the implications of any decision to continue or terminate alignment on social, economic and political life in Northern Ireland. Again, this is consistent with the undertakings made by the Government in the unilateral Declaration.
Veterinary Medicines and Residues (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	02/11/2020	DAERA	The Veterinary Medicines and Residues (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 amends the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 (VMR), the Animal and Animal Products (Examination of Residues and Maximum Residue Limits) (England and Scotland) Regulation 2015 (Residues Regulations), and the relevant retained European Union (EU) law as set out in Section 6. This instrument will ensure that the regulatory regimes for veterinary medicines and residues surveillance remain operable and enforceable in the UK after the end of the Transition Period. The amendments to the VMR also reflect the requirements and effect of the protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland (the Protocol).
Heat Network (Metering and Billing) (Amendment) Regulations 2020	06/11/2020	Economy	This instrument amends the existing Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/3120) (as amended by S.I. 2015/855) (the Regulations) which originally transposed heat network metering and billing requirements of Directive 2012/27/EU (the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)). The amendments ensure that metering devices which measure consumption of heating, cooling or hot water by each final customer are installed in buildings where it is technically feasible and cost-effective to do so, and ensure that compliance with the metering and billing requirements of the Regulations is enforced. This instrument extends mandatory billing and meter accuracy requirements to all customers in buildings where metering devices are installed.
Customs (Declarations) (Amendment and Modification) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	09/11/2020	HM Treasury	This instrument forms part of legislation to be made under the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (TCTA) to ensure that the United Kingdom (UK) has a customs regime in place at the end of the transition period following the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU). The measures contained in this instrument introduce a number of changes that will allow customs procedures to continue to operate efficiently at the end of the transition period and will help to facilitate the movement of goods between Great Britain and the EU. They include the application of staged border controls by allowing goods to move without full customs controls through border locations without existing customs control systems, clarifying the simplified declaration process, introducing new rules for travellers for goods that cannot be declared orally or by using paper declarations, and extending the scope of the process for making declarations by conduct.
Merchant Shipping (Safety Standards for Passenger Ships on Domestic Voyages) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2020	09/11/2020	Infrastructure	The purpose of this instrument is to transpose Directive (EU) 2017/2108 which amended Directive (EC) 2009/45, pursuant to the UK™s transposition obligations during the transition period which ends on 31st December 2020. This will ensure a continued high standard of safety is maintained on UK seagoing domestic passenger ships, but with the advantage that such ships under 24 metres (m) in length, may now be covered by bespoke, and more proportionate, national safety standards.
Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	09/11/2020	Infrastructure	The purpose of this instrument is to: (a) revoke regulation 27B of the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 (the 2002 Regulations), and the instrument which inserted it; regulation 27B gave effect to Directive (EU) 2015/413 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ No L 68, 13.3.15, p.9) (the Directive) by requiring the Secretary of State to provide to European Union Member States the identity of the registered keepers of vehicles, and related information, alleged to have been used in those States in the commission of traffic offences to which the Directive applies, such as speeding; (b) substitute IP completion day for exit day in amendments made to the 2002 Regulations by the Road Vehicles (Registration, Registration Plates and Excise Exemption) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, as the amendments are due to come into force on IP completion day rather than exit day following the end of the transition period provided for in the EU Withdrawal Agreement.
Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2020	10/11/2020	Economy	This instrument will make amendments to previously made legislation to prepare the United Kingdom™s (UK™s) audit regulatory regime for the end of the Transition Period. It will grant states of the European Economic Area (the EEA States) and Gibraltar approval as equivalent third countries and their audit regulatory authorities status as approved third country competent authorities on account of the adequacy of their arrangements for the transfer of audit working papers and investigation reports. This instrument will also extend the duration of the period of provisional approval as an approved third country competent authority that has been granted to the Independent Regulatory Board of South Africa. These amendments will come into effect at the end of the Transition Period. This instrument is intended to ensure that the UK™s audit regulatory regime continues to allow for cross-border listing of securities on the UK™s regulated markets by companies in the EEA States and Gibraltar and makes sure there are no obstacles in the UK framework for regulatory cooperation with their competent authorities.
The Medical Devices (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	10/11/2020	Health	This SI supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament and published on 15 October 2020. This instrument is required to ensure that the United Kingdom (˜UK™) has a functioning statute book at the end of the implementation period (˜IP™) and makes a number of amendments to other instruments for that purpose. The instruments this instrument amends are: 1. Medical Devices (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019/791 (the 2019 Regulations); 2. Schedule 2 to the Human Medicines and Medical Devices (Amendment)(EU Exit) Regulations 2019/1385 (the Amendment Regulations); and 3. Medical Devices Regulations 2002 S.I. 2002/791 (the Principal Regulations). These amendments are being made to ensure that the regulatory landscape is fit for purpose at the end of the IP. The amendments will also ensure the safety of UK patients through the continued supply of approved devices to the UK.
The Plant Health (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	10/11/2020	DAERA	This SI supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament on 15 October 2020. The purpose of this instrument is to protect biosecurity and support trade by ensuring that effective phytosanitary controls continue to operate within GB and between GB and the EU at the end of the Transition Period on 31 December 2020. Regulation (EU) 2016/2031) on protective measures against pests of plants and Regulation (EU) 2017/625) on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products (the EU Regulations) and associated implementing legislation will be made operable for GB. The result of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) is that the UK leaves the EU single market. The operability amendments contained in this instrument create a ˜single market™ covering GB and the Crown Dependencies. The EU will become a third country and, as a result, be subject to third country import controls. Plant health controls on material imported from third countries will continue to be applied and will focus on risks to GB, rather than risks to the EU. Internal controls will also continue to apply to movement of goods within the GB internal market.
The Plant Health (Phytosanitary Conditions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	10/11/2020	DAERA	This draft Statutory Instrument supersedes the draft of the same title which was laid before Parliament on 15 October 2020. The purpose of this instrument is to protect biosecurity and support trade by ensuring that effective phytosanitary controls continue to operate within GB and between GB and the EU at the end of the Transition Period on 31 December 2020. Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against pests of plants and Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products (the EU Regulations) and associated implementing legislation will be made operable for GB.
Social Security Co-ordination (Revocation of Retained Direct EU Legislation and Related Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	16/11/2020	Communities	This instrument ensures that, aside from some specific savings provisions, the EU Social Security Co-ordination Regulations (SSC Regulations) which are retained on a unilateral basis under section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) will not take effect in domestic law from the end of the transition period in areas of DWP and HMT policy. It also revokes the four statutory instruments which have been made to fix the deficiencies that would arise in the areas of DWP and HMT policy from the unilateral operation of the retained SSC Regulations, to the extent that they are no longer required. This instrument also has the effect of bringing forward the day on which amendments will be made to the Social Security Administration Act (SSAA) 1992 and the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) (SSAA(NI)) Act 1992 for the purpose of implementing, and giving effect to, reciprocal agreements with international organisations covering social security. These amendments were originally due to be made by SI No. 2019/128 and SI No. 2019/129 and were due to come into effect on IP Completion Day. However, these amendments will now be effective from the day after this instrument is made.
Seeds (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020	17/11/2020	DAERA	This instrument is required to ensure that the UK has a functioning statute book at the end of the Implementation Period (IP). It uses the power under Section 8C of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the Withdrawal Act) to implement the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland to the withdrawal agreement (the Protocol) to amend the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 2001 (National Lists Regulations 2001) so that they apply to Great Britain (GB) only and makes consequential changes to the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) (Fees) Regulations 1994 (the Fees Regulations).
Food and Drink (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 4) Regulations 2020	19/11/2020	DAERA	These regulations make minor amendments to retained EU legislation on food information rules and wine.
Air Quality (Amendment) (Northern Ireland Protocol) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2020	26/11/2020	DAERA	The purpose of this instrument is to implement the Protocol to the Withdrawal Agreement on Ireland/Northern Ireland (the Protocol). The Protocol sets out that certain provisions of Union law listed in the Protocol shall apply under certain conditions in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland. At Annex 2 of the Protocol, which concerns customs and the movement of goods, the Protocol lists Directive 2004/42/EC on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds from certain paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products (the VOCs in Paints Directiveâ ). At Annex 4, which concerns the supply of electricity, trading in wholesale electricity or cross-border exchanges in electricity, the Protocol lists Directive 2010/75/EU (the Industrial Emissions Directive). This instrument will ensure that the UK meets its obligations under the Protocol in respect of the products covered by the VOCs in Paints Directive and activities that come within the Industrial Emissions Directive (in so far as they meet the limitations set out in the Protocol). It does this by amending the Air Quality (Miscellaneous Amendment and Revocation of Retained Direct EU Legislation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (2018/1407) and the Air Quality (Amendment of Domestic Regulations) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (2019/74) so that the legislation amended by those instruments continues to apply in the UK in respect of Northern Ireland in a manner which reflects the requirements of the Protocol.
