# The Food and Feed (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2022, 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 particular under section 8(1) and (2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g)) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
Part 2 contains amendments to various statutory instruments relating to food and feed that apply in England only. In particular, the amendments remove cross-references to various EU Directives and insert various tables from the Annexes to those Directives, as they had effect immediately before IP completion day, as new Schedules to the instruments concerned, as follows—
(a) Annexes 1 and 2 from Commission Directive 2007/42/EC relating to materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (OJ L 172, 30.6.2007, p. 71–82) are inserted as Schedule 5 to the Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (England) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/2619);
(b) Annex 1 from Directive 2009/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on extraction solvents used in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients (OJ L 141, 6.6.2009, p. 3–11) is inserted as Schedule 6 to the Food Additives, Flavourings, Enzymes and Extraction Solvents (England) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/2210); and
(c) the Annex to Commission Directive 82/475/EEC laying down the categories of feed materials which may be used for the purposes of labelling compound feedingstuffs for pet animals (OJ L 213, 21.7.1982, p. 27–28) is inserted as Schedule 3 to the Animal Feed (Composition, Marketing and Use) (England) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/255) and Annexes 1 and 2 from Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed (OJ L 140, 30.5.2002, p. 10–22) are inserted as Schedules 4 and 5 to those Regulations.
Part 3 contains amendments to retained direct EU legislation relating to food and feed.
