(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 in order to address deficiencies in retained EU law arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (“the EU”). The deficiencies fall within section 8(2)(g) and (3)(a) of that Act.
These Regulations amend secondary legislation relating to weighing and measuring equipment and meters. That legislation contains provisions that require the recognition of testing carried out in other EU member States or in other States in the European Economic Area (“EEA States”) and that recognise technical standards and requirements applicable in such States. The references to EU member States and EEA States other than the United Kingdom reflect the United Kingdom’s former membership of the EU and the EEA and are no longer appropriate. These Regulations amend them accordingly so that they are references simply to member States of the EU and EEA States.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
