The Pesticides and Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting)(Amendment)(EU Exit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020
These Regulations are made in the exercise of powers in section 11 of, and Part 1C of Schedule 2 to, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. They ensure that Northern Ireland legislation relating to Invasive Alien Species and Pesticides can continue to operate effectively after the EU exit transition period and remain aligned with the EU law in accordance with the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland. In relation to Invasive Alien Species, omitting regulation 9 of S.I. 2019 No. 1313 effectively restores the definition of “Union List” in S.R. 2019 No. 159.
