The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No.2) Regulations 2019
In the event that the UK withdraws from the EU without a deal (‘No Deal’), the UK would not have an agreement in place to continue participating in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which would create inoperabilities in existing legislation. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/107) revoked certain provisions that will cease to apply on exit day and amended others to address those inoperabilities. S.I. 2019/107 can be found here: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/107/contents/made.
