Diolch. We considered these regulations at our meeting on 11 November and we laid our report before the Assembly on 12 November. As with our scrutiny of all statutory instruments, we consider them against the criteria set out in our Standing Orders 21.2 and 21.3. In the case of these regulations, our report noted only one point under Standing Order 21.3(ii), namely that the regulations have been made under the 'made affirmative' procedure. We noted that this was the first use by Welsh Ministers of the urgent procedure under paragraph 7 of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and that this was in preparation for the UK's then expected exit on 31 October 2019 from the European Union. I'd just like also to take the opportunity to say that we noted the same point in our report on the Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2019, which are also considered this afternoon as item 6, but on which I won't make a further comment. Diolch.
