Item 6 on the agenda is the Rural Affairs (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019, and I call on the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to move the motion—Lesley Griffiths.

Motion NDM7154 Rebecca Evans

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales; in accordance with Standing Order 27.5:

1. Approves that the draft The Rural Affairs (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) (No 2) Regulations 2019 is made in accordance with the draft laid in the Table Office on 17 September 2019.

Motion moved.

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I move the motion.

The primary purpose of the Rural Affairs (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019 is to correct deficiencies in Welsh statutory instruments that arise as a result of the UK's exit from the European Union. The corrective and technical changes made by the 2019 regulations are necessary to ensure the statute book in Wales is fully operable following the UK's exit from the EU. The 2019 regulations include amendments that address deficiencies that arise as a result of the UK's withdrawal from the EU and update references to European legislation.

Regulations 3 and 4 of the regulations make amendments to the Plant Health (Amendment) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and the Rural Affairs, Environment, Fisheries and Food (Miscellaneous Amendments and Revocations) (Wales) Regulations 2019 respectively, and will come into force immediately before exit day. Regulation 2 of the 2019 regulations amends the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Wales) Regulations 2011, and will come into force on exit day.

The 2019 regulations amend the Trade in Animals and Related Products (Wales) Regulations 2011, the Plant Health (Amendment) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which in turn amend the Plant Health (Wales) Order 2018, and the Rural Affairs, Environment, Fisheries and Food (Miscellaneous Amendments and Revocations) (Wales) Regulations 2019, which in turn amend the African Horse Sickness (Wales) Regulations 2013.

Thank you. I have no speakers, therefore the proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? No. Therefore the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.

Motion agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
