These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) and 23 of, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to, 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 section 8(2)(a), (b), (c), (d) and (g)) arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union.
These Regulations make amendments to legislation relating to the licensing of railway undertakings in Great Britain. Part 2 amends the existing licensing legislation.
Parts 3 and 4 make consequential amendments to primary and secondary legislation. Part 4 (regulation 31) also revokes Regulation (EU) 2015/171 in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Part 5 makes transitional provision in respect of existing European licences granted by the Office of Rail and Road (established under section 15 of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003 (c. 20); section 15 was amended by the Office of Rail Regulation (Change of Name) Regulations (S.I. 2015/1682)) and pending applications for a licence so that they are treated as licences issued under the 2005 Regulations as amended by these Regulations.
Part 6 makes transitory provision so that European licences issued by an EEA Member State continue to be recognised in Great Britain for two years from exit day. The effect is that in respect of all existing legislation as it applies to these licences there is no change for two years.
