This source is offered for reference purposes following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union and the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 (ECA 1972)

The repeal of ECA 1972 took effect subject to certain savings and transitional provisions required to give effect to the post-Brexit implementation period. This source contains relevant EU instruments published up to the end of the implementation period (IP completion day).

This source contains legislation content originally derived from the EU which is of continued relevance in UK domestic law in accordance with the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018), as amended.

EU(W)A 2018 made provision for the publication of relevant EU instruments which may or may not be retained in domestic law following IP completion day. This source is consistent with that approach and should not be treated as an authorised or exhaustive source of retained direct EU legislation.

EU(W)A 2018, and associated primary and secondary legislation, contains provisions which determine and modify the domestic scope and application of retained EU law. This source should be read in this context, alongside EU(W)A 2018 and associated legislation.

Where applicable, the legislation content in this source is consolidated and maintained to reflect UK-specific modifications (including repeals, revocations and amendments). However, it should not be assumed that instruments or provisions which do not contain consolidated amendments are retained in full. Access online with Lexis+®.
