These Regulations make amendments to legislation relating to the safety of genetically modified food and animal feed. Part 2 amends subordinate legislation in England. Part 3 amends retained direct EU legislation for the whole of the United Kingdom. Part 4 revokes retained direct EU legislation for the whole of the United Kingdom. An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the public, private or voluntary sector is foreseen. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2019/9780111180273 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/draft-genetically-modified-food-and-feed-amendment-etc-eu-exit-regulations-2019 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
