Abstract

These Regulations make amendments to subordinate legislation in the field of the deliberate release, marketing and transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms in relation to Northern Ireland in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(b), (c), and (g) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
