Part 4: Independent Advice on and Monitoring of UK Internal Market General provision about functions under Part 4 Section 30: Functions of the CMA under Part 4: general provisions
This section defines a regulatory provision for the purposes of the CMA’s UK internal market reporting, advisory, and monitoring functions, to be undertaken by the Office for the Internal Market task groups within the CMA as set out in section 32 and Schedule 3. As well as stating which of these regulatory provisions are within scope. A regulatory provision is defined to cover relevant requirements for trade in goods and services, as well as the recognition of professional qualifications within the UK internal market.
	Regulatory provisions are in scope, under subsection (1) if they meet the conditions in subsections (2) and (4).
	Subsection (2) defines regulatory provisions by reference to the mutual recognition and non-discrimination principles for goods and services, as defined in sections 3, 6 and 17 and for access to professions or professional regulation under section 24(1) or 28.
	Subsection (4) sets out that a regulatory provision applies to one or more of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but does not apply to the whole of the UK. For example, a regulation in Wales that only applies within Wales but not in any other part of the UK would fall within scope.
	Subsections (8) and (9) define "regulatory provision" to include legislation as defined in section 58 covering primary and subordinate legislation, retained EU legislation and provision made under legislation, but not anything to give effect to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
	Subsection (10) states that "the CMA" refers to the Competition and Markets Authority throughout this Part.
