  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 and paragraphs 21(a) and (b) of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) and amend the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (Wales) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/497 W.114) (the “2019 Regulations”).\nRegulation 2 amends the 2019 Regulations to provide an exemption from the payment of fees otherwise payable to the Welsh Ministers in respect of applications to the Forestry Commission for a phytosanitary certificate for export (or re-export) in certain circumstances.\nThe exemption in regulation 2 ceases to have effect at the end of 31 December 2022.\nRegulation 3 amends the units referred to for item 2 in the table in Schedule 3 of the 2019 Regulations in order to correct an error.\nThe 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.\nIn accordance with paragraph 12(1) of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, a draft of these Regulations has been laid before Senedd Cymru.",
