The Water (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

The Water (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 ensure that water legislation will continue to be operable in the United Kingdom after the UK leaves the EU. The instrument addresses deficiencies in the retained EU law arising from the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The purpose of the instrument is to preserve and protect the existing policy regime - it will not introduce any new policy.
