These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers in section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular the deficiencies under paragraphs (e) and (g) of section 8(2) of the Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and to make consequential provision. Regulations 2 to 7 amend the Building Societies Act 1986 (to remove references to EEA countries and territories, and bodies corporate incorporated under the law of an EU member State or EEA countries and to replace references to EU legislation by references to the provisions of UK law which implemented them). Regulation 8 amends the Building Societies (Funding) and Mutual Societies (Transfers) Act 2007 to replace references to EEA mutual societies by references to Crown Dependency mutual societies. Regulations 9 to 12 make similar amendments to the Building Societies (Transfer of Business) Regulations 1998, the Building Societies (Accounts and Related Provisions) Regulations 1998, the Building Societies Act 1986 (Substitution of Specified Amounts and Modification of the Funding Limit Calculation) Order 2007 and the Mutual Societies (Transfers) Order 2009.
