Commentary on provisions of Act Section 6: Revocation of other retained EU recognition law
Subsection (1) gives the appropriate national authority the power to make regulations modifying "retained EU recognition law" so that it ceases to have effect. This will enable regulations to be made to revoke legislation for professions outside the scope of the 2015 Regulations, but which are still part of the broader EU-derived qualification recognition framework. Such legislation is sector-specific and continues to include qualification recognition measures which offer preferential treatment to EEA and Swiss qualifications compared to non-EEA and non-Swiss qualifications. The new recognition framework, as set out in Section 1, will be implemented alongside revoking retained EU recognition law in sector-specific legislation.
	Subsection (2) defines "retained EU recognition law" which means retained EU law that provides for, or relates to, the recognition of overseas qualifications or overseas experience for the purpose of determining whether individuals are entitled to practise a regulated profession in the United Kingdom or a part of it.
