(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery (Type Approval) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/648) (“the principal Regulations”) to vary the date for commencement of Part 3 of that instrument (which provides for amendments under the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68) to be made to definitions in the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (S.I. 1981/154 (N.I. 1)). This is necessary due to the late making of the principal Regulations such that Part 3 would not properly commence before exit day.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
