Commentary
These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Currently, the contaminants in food legislation is set by the EU and is implemented in the UK by statutory instruments.
These Regulations transfer the European Commission’s current legislative power to the Welsh Ministers in relation to Wales, to enable the Welsh Ministers to make regulations setting the maximum tolerances for specific contaminants.
Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 4 February 2019 regarding the effect of these Regulations.
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.
