Commentary
These Regulations amend a number of domestic regulations relating to the marketing of seed and propagating material. Specifically, the Regulations make a number of amendments to the Marketing of Vegetable Plant Material Regulations 1995, the Marketing of Ornamental Plant Propagating Material Regulations 1999, and amendments to three other sets of regulations which apply to England only.
The effect of these Regulations is to enable the domestic regulations to continue to function following the UK’s departure from the European Union. These Regulations contain transitional provisions and make technical amendments, and do not implement new policy. Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 10 December 2018 regarding the effect of these Regulations.
Legal Advisers do not consider that any significant issues arise under paragraph 8 of the Memorandum on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and the Establishment of Common Frameworks in relation to these Regulations.
Legal Advisers have not identified any legal reason to seek a consent motion under Standing Order 30A.10 in relation to these Regulations.
