The Management of Extractive Waste (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) and paragraph 1(1) and (3) of schedule 2 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16). These Regulations make amendments to legislation concerning the management of extractive waste. The amendments update out of date references to EU instruments which are no longer in force. The amendments also address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(d) and (g) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
