The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the EU and UK was reached on 24 December 2020 and is now in force.
The agreement applies ongoing requirements on the environment and climate change, including mechanisms to resolve disputes.
This order establishes a UK registry of emissions allowances under the UK emissions trading scheme (UK ETS), which replaces the EU ETS for most installations in the UK.
Methods to determine and apply free allocations of allowances are also defined.
These regulations amended the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2012.
Electricity generators in Northern Ireland that supply the wholesale single electricity market in Ireland will remain subject to the EU ETS.
Other amendments made support the exit of all other UK installations from the EU ETS.
These regulations establish a lighter touch notification regime for imports of chemicals from Northern Ireland to Great Britain.
Notifications present an alternative to registration under UK REACH for Northern Irish manufacturers, formulators or suppliers of chemicals. EU REACH requirements will continue to apply in Northern Ireland.
These regulations amended the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012.
Energy inspections of air conditioning systems must now consider the capabilities of the system for combined air-conditioning and ventilation to optimise performance.
These regulations establish the 'democratic consent process' for the continued application of the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Protocol requires the Northern Ireland Assembly to vote periodically to either extend or end Northern Ireland’s alignment with EU law under the Protocol.
