EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
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.
