The paper will be discussed at the Board Meeting on 7 December 2022. The following is the initial summary in the Paper:
1 Summary
1.1 This paper provides an update to the Board on progress of the UK Government’s Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, and the FSA’s programme of work until 2026, to support delivery of the Bill and associated reforms.
1.2 The FSA’s mission remains food you can trust - to ensure a food system in which food is safe, food is what it says it is, and food is healthier and more sustainable. That will not change. Although any changes to Retained EU Law (REUL) are decisions for ministers and ultimately for Parliament, in giving our advice we will continue to prioritise public health and will not compromise food and feed safety or standards. We also want to make sure that we continue to protect consumer and trading partner confidence in UK food, and that businesses have the right regulation to enable them to provide safe food, to trade and to grow.
1.3 The Board is asked to:
- Agree the guiding principles for the FSA’s advice to ministers on retained EU law
- Agree the FSA’s overall approach to a multi-year programme of work and comment on emerging proposals to preserve and reform different aspects of REUL
- Note the FSA’s approach to four-country working and working across the UK
- Note the key risks for this Programme, and implications for wider FSA work plans
