Commentary These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. These Regulations amend retained EU law in relation the import of food and feed from countries affected by the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents to substitute domestic references for those to EU institutions.  In relation to Wales, that means substituting references to the Welsh Government (as the appropriate authority) and the Food Standards Agency for references to the European Commission and European Food Safety Authority respectively. Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 5 February 2019 regarding the effect of these Regulations.] The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect and the extent to which these Regulations would enact new policy in devolved areas. 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.]
