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.
These Regulations make amendments to and revocations of legislation in the field of official controls and other official activities performed by the authorities to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products. Part 2 amends subordinate UK legislation, Part 3 amends retained direct EU legislation and Part 4 revokes retained direct EU legislation.
