Commentary
These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
These Regulations amend two EU Regulations and Annex 2 to the EEA Agreement. The purpose of these Regulations is to ensure that organic standards remain the same for organic operators, after the UK exits the European Union, as they are now.
The Regulations amend the following legislation:
· Commission Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products; · Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control; · Paragraph 54b of Chapter 12 of annex 2 to the EEA Agreement is revoked.
Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 18 February 2019 regarding the effect of these Regulations.
The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect.
Legal Advisers do not consider that any significant issues arise under paragraph 8 of the Memorandum on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and the Establishment of Common Frameworks in relation to these Regulations.
