EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, other than regulation 3(6), are made in exercise of the powers conferred on the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 2 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) 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.

Regulation 3(6) is made under section 16 of the Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16) to amend the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Wales) Regulations 2012 to set the criteria applicable to the method for determining the level of vinyl chloride in materials and articles in contact with food and of determining the level of vinyl chloride released by those materials and articles.

These Regulations make amendments to subordinate legislation applying in Wales in the field of genetically modified food and feed, materials and articles in contact with food, and food additives, flavourings, enzymes and extraction solvents.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
