# The Animal Welfare (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained direct EU legislation to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(b), (c), (d) and (g)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
These Regulations make amendments to retained direct EU legislation in the fields of control posts, animal welfare at transport and animal welfare at slaughter.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
