(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address deficiencies, in Northern Ireland legislation relating to fertilisers, arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union.
Regulation 2 amends the Fertilisers Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992 (S.R. 1992 No. 187) to remove references to EEC fertilisers and EC fertilisers, since the EU fertilisers regime is dealt with in other legislation. Regulation 3 amends the EC Fertilisers Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (S.R. 2006 No. 503).
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
