European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

Animal Welfare and Invasive Non-Native Species (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

Good morning and welcome to the 32nd meeting in 2020 of the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee.

Item 1 is consideration of the Animal Welfare and Invasive Non-Native Species (Amendment etc) (EU Exit) Regulations. Members will recall that there is an agreed protocol between the Scottish Government and the Parliament in relation to instruments that are made by the United Kingdom Government under powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 that relate to proposals that are within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament. I invite comments on the regulations.

As there are no comments, do members agree to approve the Scottish Government’s proposal to consent to provisions being made in the UK Parliament on this UK statutory instrument?

Members indicated agreement.
