The Nagoya Protocol (Compliance) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 8(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(b) and (d)) arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. They are also made in exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to that Act, where it is considered necessary to restate or clarify provisions of retained EU law.
