The published Explanatory Memorandum to this statutory instrument provides the information requested. To summarise, the instrument only contains simple and technical changes to pieces of domestic fisheries legislation to ensure they operate correctly after EU withdrawal.<\/p>
<\/p>
This means that it:<\/p>
<\/p>
(a) Does not make changes to policy;<\/p>
<\/p>
(b) Will not lead to a change in operational delivery;<\/p>
<\/p>
(c) Will not impose any additional costs (as there are no changes to what businesses, individuals or the public sector will have to do under the regulations);<\/p>
<\/p>
(d) Makes minor technical corrections to the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967, the Fisheries Act 1981 and the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, in order to give effect to EU measures forming part of the CFP; and<\/p>
<\/p>
(e) Will not result in any additional environmental impacts.<\/p>
<\/p>
This statutory instrument will be required on EU withdrawal, but if there is an implementation period we expect to defer, revoke or amend the SI in time for the end of that period.<\/p>

The Government intends to continue to develop its approach to pesticides, and we propose to consult on the future of pesticides policy later in 2019. Both the 25 Year Environment Plan and the National Action Plan emphasise the importance of Integrated Pest Management. This means not only that pesticides are used well, but that pesticide use is minimised and the uptake of alternatives is strongly encouraged.<\/p>

This will continue to be the case whether we leave the EU with or without a deal. Food supply is highly resilient with diversity and flexibility throughout the supply chains, and industry responds quickly to disruptions in supply.<\/p> Extensive work to prepare for a \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario has been under way for almost two years. The Government has well established ways of working with the food industry on food supply chain issues and we are using these to support preparations for leaving the EU. This includes working with Defra\u2019s long established Food Chain Emergency Liaison Group (FCELG), which allows Government and industry to work together to plan for and respond to any food supply disruption. This industry group\u2019s membership is drawn from across the agri-food chain sector and includes other relevant government departments, Devolved Administrations and agencies.<\/p> Defra will continue to work closely with food industry stakeholders to continue to build shared understanding of the impacts of a no deal scenario on food supply and contingency planning measures being taken by industry. Ongoing close collaboration between Government and industry is essential to plan for, respond to, and mitigate any potential disruption.<\/p> <\/p>"}
