The Agriculture Market Measures (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2019
These Regulations are made by the Scottish Ministers in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraphs 1(1) and (3) of schedule 2 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) (“the 2018 Act”) and by section 2(2) and paragraph 1A of schedule 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 (c.68) (“the 1972 Act”). The Regulations are made in order to address failures of EU-derived domestic law to operate effectively and other deficiencies that would otherwise arise as a result of the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. The Regulations also make amendments under section 2(2) of the 1972 Act in the field of common market organisations for certain agricultural products to make minor corrections and update references in relation to a number of EU instruments referred to in the instruments being amended, for the purposes of ensuring enforceability of current law.
