Therefore, we move to item 6, which is the Plant Health (Forestry) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020—[Interruption.] Sorry, that's how it is written. Can I now call on the Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs to move the motion? Lesley Griffiths. 

Motion NDM7498 Rebecca Evans

To propose that the Senedd, in accordance with Standing Order 27.5:

1. Approves that the draft Plant Health (Forestry) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 are made in accordance with the draft laid in the Table Office on 17 November 2020.

Motion moved.

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I move the motion. The Plant Health (Forestry) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 make amendments to the Forest Reproductive Material (Great Britain) Regulations 2002 and the Plant Health (Fees) (Forestry) (Wales) Regulations 2019, both directly and through amendments to the Plant Health (Forestry) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The 2020 regulations amendments implement Great Britain’s decisions on the equivalence of forest reproductive material produced in countries outside Great Britain and set out the revised requirements that apply in Wales. This is necessary to maintain standards of imported forest reproductive material and associated biosecurity. These amendments are necessary to reflect the post-transitional position of Wales within Great Britain arising from the UK's withdrawal from the European Union and maintain alignment with the law in England and Scotland. The amendments are technical in nature with no changes to policy.

Regulations 1, 2, 3 and 5 come into force immediately before IP completion day as defined in section 39 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 as 11 p.m. on 31 December 2020. Regulations 4 and 6 come into force on IP completion day. Thank you.

Thank you. I have no speakers and I have nobody who wants to make an intervention. Therefore, Minister, I don't think there's any need for a reply, because we haven't had the debate. So, the proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? I don't see any objections. Therefore, the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.

Motion agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36
