The REACH
etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019
These Regulations are made in exercise of the powers conferred by
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) in order to
address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and
other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a) to (d) and
(g)) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (“UK”) from
the European Union.
These Regulations amend the REACH etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit)
Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/758) (the “Exit Regulations”). The Exit
Regulations amend Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European
Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH),
establishing a European Chemicals Agency.
Regulation 3 makes a minor amendment to regulation 12 of the Exit
Regulations. Regulation 4 amends Schedule 2 to the Exit
Regulations, which inserts a number of transitional provisions into
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Regulation 4 substitutes the inserted Article 127E and inserts new
Article 127EA. The substituted Article 127E applies to substances
imported into the UK from anywhere in the world rather than just
the European Economic Area.
New Article 127EA provides for an only representative (see Article
8 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) to be able to submit
notifications instead of the UK user or distributor.
Regulation 5 makes minor amendments to Schedule 10 to the Exit
Regulations. That Schedule amends the REACH Enforcement Regulations
2008 (S.I. 2008/2852).
