Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8(1) of, and Schedule 2 to, 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.

These Regulations make amendments to the Forest Reproductive (Great Britain) Regulations 2002, the Plant Health (Forestry) Order 2005 and the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (Wales) Regulations 2019.

The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of regulatory impact assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
