These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (in particular under paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (g) of section 8(2)), and in exercise of the powers conferred by section 23(1) and (2) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, that Act, to make consequential and incidental amendments.
These Regulations amend Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations (OJ No L 315, 3.12.2007, p.14) to ensure that that Regulation will operate effectively after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. Amendments made include deletion of references to Member States, obligations on the European Commission and amounts of money in Euros, none of which will operate effectively after exit day. These Regulations also make consequential amendments to the Rail Passengers’ Rights and Obligations Regulations 2010, the Rail Passengers’ Rights and Obligations (Exemption) Regulations 2014 and the Rail Passengers Rights and Obligations (Designation and Enforcement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017. These Regulations provide for the enforcement of Regulation 1371/2007 and (in the case of the 2014 Regulations) make provision for certain exemptions in Great Britain.
