The corrections contained in Defra’s EU Exit SIs ensure operability of current EU law and are mainly technical in nature and do not make changes to existing policy. In line with the Government’s overall approach to EU exit, the corrections made in Defra’s EU Exit SIs seek to ensure that legislation can work sensibly in a non-EU context.

Each SI will be accompanied by an explanatory memoranda which will provide details of legislative corrections and their impacts. These explanatory memoranda will be published at the time the SI is laid.
