# The European Structural and Investment Funds Common Provisions and Common Provision Rules etc. (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 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 under section 8(2)(a), (b) and (d)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
Regulation 3 disapplies the retained EU law specified in Schedule 1 insofar as it applies to the European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund and Cohesion Fund (the Funds) and regulation 4 revokes retained EU law specified in Schedule 2.
Regulations 5 and 6 set out transitional provisions for funding agreements entered into before exit day in relation to the Funds and ensures funding can continue to be provided to persons in relation to co-operation programmes under Commission Regulation (EU) 1299/2013 which (whether or not commenced) were approved before exit day, or were applied for before exit day but approved after that day and were of a type that would have been approved before exit day.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
