The Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020
These Regulations amend the Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (“the 2019 Regulations”) which were made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c.16) (“the Withdrawal Act”) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies. The 2019 Regulations revoke the Transfrontier Shipment of Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”). The 2019 Regulations largely replicate the key provisions and penalties of the 2008 Regulations but abolish the distinction between member States and third countries in the process for authorising shipments.
