Commentary:
These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8(1) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
The Regulations amend retained direct EU legislation relating to air quality, to ensure that it continues to operate effectively following withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. This includes addressing deficiencies, such as references to EU authorities (e.g. the Commission) being replaced with domestic equivalents.
Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 20 December 2018 regarding the effect of these Regulations. 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.
