Work has started on the delivery of new IT capability to enable the registration and regulation of chemical substances placed on the UK market. This forms part of our contingency planning for Day 1 readiness and will ensure continuity for businesses after the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
To date, Defra has spent has spent £330,000 on the Alpha development phase of a new IT system for the registration of chemical substances. No expenditure has been incurred to date on developing IT capability for the regulation of chemical substances as the initial phases of the project are focussed on registration.<\/p>

Defra and its executive agency the Veterinary Medicines Directorate are making good progress on preparations for leaving the EU related to veterinary medicines.<\/p>
<\/p>
All the potential day 1 issues have been identified and delivery plans are in place to ensure continuity of the licensing and marketing of veterinary medicines, this includes necessary legislative changes and process changes including IT services that may no longer be accessed through the EU. The Veterinary Medicines Directorate has been working closely with its stakeholder groups and other government bodies involved in the regulation of medicines and chemicals.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3934", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for George Eustice"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Camborne and Redruth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "George Eustice"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-21T12:04:20.15Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Veterinary Medicine"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress his Department has made on systems for the (a) licensing and (b) marketing of veterinary medicines after the UK leaves the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4395", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Workington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sue Hayman"} ], "uin" : "132233"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/861085", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/861085/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The future operation of the fluorinated gases (F-gas) and ozone depleting substances (ODS) quota systems will depend on the outcome of ongoing negotiations. It is important to be prepared for a range of outcomes, including the unlikely possibility of leaving without a deal.<\/p>
<\/p>
Possible outcomes include establishing UK F-gas and ODS quota systems. The Environment Agency and Defra are currently scoping options for the development of administrative systems to manage UK quotas.<\/p>
<\/p>
All preparations are conducted without prejudice to any negotiated solution which the UK and EU might agree.<\/p>

There are two primary sources of data which can be used to monitor fishing vessel activity. Firstly, under International Maritime Organisation regulations, vessels over 300 tonnes must have automatic identification system (AIS); this is also an EU requirement for vessels over 15m in length and is used more widely as a safety aid. AIS is open source data available to all vessels wherever they are. Secondly, all EU vessels over 12m in length must have a vessel monitoring system while third country vessels in EU waters are required to have an operational satellite tracking system.<\/p>
<\/p>
Data sharing arrangements between authorities are a standard condition of fisheries agreements.<\/p>
