The Persistent Organic Pollutants (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 make the necessary corrections to ensure the Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants functions once we leave the EU. This will maintain the operability of regulations which implement the Stockholm Convention through the elimination and restriction of the use of chemicals that have been internationally recognised as toxic, persistent, bio-accumulative and highly mobile. It also amends regulation No. 3106 Persistent Organic Pollutants 2007, to enable it to continue to operate following the UK’s Exit from the European Union. There are corrections to some provisions of the EU legislation relating to legislative functions which will be made in a subsequent statutory instrument.
