European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018: Instrument Category
Civil and Family Justice (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2020 [Draft]
Agenda item 2 is consideration of two further instruments that have been laid under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Unlike under item 1, we are considering only how they have been categorised by the Scottish Government.
The first instrument has been categorised by the Scottish Government as being of low significance, but our advisers suggest that it should be categorised as being of medium significance under the SSI protocol.
Does the committee wish to recommend that the instrument should be categorised as being of medium significance?
Members indicated agreement.
Invasive Non-native Species (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2020 [Draft]
The second instrument has been categorised by the Scottish Government as being of medium significance, but our advisers suggest that it should be categorised as being of high significance under the SSI protocol, as it gives the Scottish ministers new powers to legislate.
Does the committee wish to recommend that the instrument should be categorised as being of high significance?
Members indicated agreement.
