Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8(1) and 8C(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16).

Regulation 2 amends the Timber and Timber Products and FLEGT (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 for the purposes of implementing the Northern Ireland Protocol (that is, the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the EU withdrawal agreement), accounting for amendments to retained direct EU legislation that have been adopted at the EU level after those Regulations were made and correcting a minor error at regulation 6(5)(a).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, public or voluntary sector is foreseen.
