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 (in particular under paragraphs (b) and (c) of section 8(2)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. They amend the Competition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/93)(‘the principal Regulations’) to–— retain as a matter of domestic law decisions made by the European Commission which have the effect of making binding commitments given by parties in the context of anti-trust investigations and merger clearance functions, amend those decisions and commitments so that they operate effectively, and give powers to the Competition and Markets Authority to amend, waive, release and enforce those retained commitments in the future. This will allow the CMA to perform the functions previously undertaken by the Commission in relation to the United Kingdom; and— make clarifications to the transitional provisions that apply in relation to claims for damages for loss arising out of competition infringements.

Schedule 2 to the 2019 Regulations is amended as follows.
This statutory instrument was made under a procedure whereby it ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which it was made unless, during that period, the instrument is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. It was not approved by Parliament within that period and so has ceased to have effect.
