SI 2023/1424. The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (Consequential Amendment) Regulations 2023. Comes into force 1st January. These Regulations rename retained EU law (“REUL”) so that after the end of 2023, any REUL which remains in force will be known as “assimilated law”. Assimilated law, which was previously REUL, will become domestic law. The Schedule lists one hundred and seven pieces of legislation in which the words “retained direct EU” are substituted by “assimilated direct” in one or more places.
Legislation relevant to Simplifi is:
Environmental Protection Act 1990 (A 1990 c.43) The Environment Act 1995 (A 1995 c.25) The Industrial Pollution Control (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (SI 1997/2777) The Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (SI 1997/2778) Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 (A 1999 c.24) The Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002 (SI 2002/3153) Waste and Emissions Trading Act 2003 (A 2003 c.23) Energy Act 2013 (A 2013 c.32) Building Safety Act 2022 (A 2022 c.30)
NB “assimilated law” is any retained EU law that still exists after the end of 2023. This could include any primary domestic legislation that is EU-derived, and any EU-derived subordinate legislation or retained direct EU legislation that is preserved or postponed from sunsetting.
