The Regulations will ensure that the relevant regulatory regimes for oil and gas licensing, environmental protection and oil stocking remain effective and appropriate post-EU exit. They will not result in any additional burdens on industry as they will simply fix ‘post-exit’ deficiencies within a suite of existing legislation.</p><p> </p><p>The existing UK Compulsory Oil Stocking regime will continue to operate in the event of a no deal, but the EU obligations within this system will cease to apply. Several bilateral agreements are in place with other EU Member States to help ensure that the system continues to be flexible and robust.</p><p> </p><p>The Department engages regularly with the oil and gas sector on EU exit issues.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 30/07/2019 13:52:31 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
