Northumbrian Water has been fined £240,000 for polluting a watercourse in a prosecution brought by the Environment Agency.

This instrument revokes redundant retained direct EU legislation which forms part of the plant protection product (“PPP”) and maximum residue level (“MRL”) regulatory regimes, so that these regimes can continue to operate effectively following the end of the implementation period. The revocations concern direct EU legislation which came into force towards the end of the implementation period (and so was not addressed by the earlier EU Exit SIs described in paragraph 7.4) and which is given effect in Great Britain through transitional provisions in the earlier EU Exit SIs and the national statutory registers. As a result, the retained direct EU legislation to be revoked is no longer required.
