Legislation

The EU CLP Regulation will be retained in GB law as retained EU law, including both directly applicable EU law and EU-derived domestic legislation, with modifications to address deficiencies arising from the UK's withdrawal from the EU, the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol.

The changes are set out in The Chemicals (Health and Safety) and Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 No. 720[43] as amended by The Chemicals (Health and Safety) and Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 .
