Product Regulation and Metrology Bill would allow UK to align with EU regulations related to the environmental impact of products.
It is not entirely clear which EU regulations are in scope, nor how government intends to use the powers in practice.
The key passage is Clause 1(2) grants the Secretary of State powers to make provision which corresponds, or is similar, to a provision of relevant EU law.
The EU ’s new packaging rules, for instance, were reportedly the most-lobbied in EU history, and incoming deforestation regulations have proved similarly controversial.
If the government chose to align with these via the powers in the bill, would the potentially wide-reaching implications including impacts on big and small businesses and devolved governments be properly considered? There are a number of known unknowns’ about this bill.
