Explanatory note

These Regulations repeal the Law Derived from the European Union (Wales) Act 2018 (“the Act”) and are made under section 22 of the Act. Section 22 of the Act enables the Welsh Ministers to repeal, by regulations, the Act or any provision of the Act.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. A regulatory impact assessment was undertaken in relation to the Act. That regulatory impact assessment included an assessment of the option to continue to work with the UK Government to amend the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, the better to reflect the devolution settlement. As these Regulations reflect that option, information on the impact of these Regulations can be found in that regulatory impact assessment. The regulatory impact assessment can be accessed at: http://www.assembly.wales/laid%20documents/pri-ld11449-em/pri-ld11449-em-e.pdf.
