# The Food Standards and Labelling (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, other than regulation 6, are made in exercise of the powers conferred on the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 2 and paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) 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.
Regulation 6 is made under section 16 of the Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16) to amend the Honey (Wales) Regulations 2015 to set the method of analysis that food authorities must use to verify compliance with those Regulations’ requirements.
These Regulations make amendments to subordinate legislation applying in Wales in the field of food composition and labelling.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
