The Animal Health, Plant Health, Seeds and Seed Potatoes (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

This instrument uses powers under Section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (“the ECA”) and section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“the Withdrawal Act”) to make a number of technical changes to existing SIs and to introduce some provisions on policies which were not able to be included in earlier EU exit SIs to ensure all deficiencies have been fully addressed. It covers a number of policy areas: animal health, plant health, seed marketing and seed potatoes.
