These Regulations revoke instruments deriving from EU legislation relating to the Horizon 2020 framework programme for research and innovation which have been retained in domestic law under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 as retained EU law. The revocations address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies (in particular under section 8(2)(a) and (d) of that Act) arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
