# The Creative Europe Programme and Europe for Citizens Programme (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of 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 provisions which have no practical application in relation to the United Kingdom or any part of it or are otherwise redundant or substantially redundant as set out in section 8(2)(a)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
The Regulations revoke the retained direct EU legislation establishing frameworks for the provision of funding and operation of the Creative Europe and Europe for Citizens Programmes.
Regulation 3 makes transitional provision in respect of England and Northern Ireland allowing the Secretary of State to provide financial assistance to persons under the Creative Europe and Europe for Citizens programmes where they would have been entitled to receive funding under the current programmes had the United Kingdom not withdrawn from the European Union.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
