EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by 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)(a), (b), (d) and (g)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
They make amendments to legislation in the field of the common agricultural policy, providing for functions of EU entities of making an instrument of a legislative character to be exercisable instead by a public authority in the United Kingdom.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
