Commentary

 

These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

 

These Regulations make amendments to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 639/2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 641/2014 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013. Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishes rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy.

These amendments will address operability issues created by the UK leaving the EU, to ensure that the direct payments legislation can continue to operate effectively.

 

Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 19 December 2018 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.

 

Legal Advisers have not identified any legal reason to seek a consent motion under Standing Order 30A.10 in relation to these Regulations.
