Commentary

 

These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

 

These Regulations make a minor amendment to retained direct EU legislation in relation to quick-frozen foodstuffs. The amendment clarifies that the retained EU law applies only in the UK and not in EU Member States. 

 

Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 4 February regarding the effect of these Regulations.

 

The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect.

 

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.
