The regulations permitted the use of the mineral substance, magnesium L-threonate monohydrate, as a source of magnesium in the manufacture of food supplements in England by amending Schedule 2 of the 2019 EU Exit Regulations.

The Nutrition (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, made on April 20, 2026, and coming into force on August 12, 2026, amend Schedule 2 of the 2019 EU Exit Regulations to incorporate 'magnesium L-threonate monohydrate' into the list of approved mineral substances for manufacturing food supplements.

These regulations were enacted by the Secretary of State under powers related to exiting the European Union, apply to England for substance use, and extend to England and Wales for procedural purposes, following consultation compliant with EU food law principles.

Amended the Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 by revoking specific trade prohibitions, correcting definitions, and updating references to the Government of Syria.

The Syria (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 primarily amend the 2019 Syria sanctions framework, which was established following the UK's exit from the EU, based on subsequent amendments made in light of the collapse of the former Bashar Al-Assad regime in December 2024.

These regulations revoke prohibitions on trade related to gold, precious metals, diamonds, and luxury goods, while making necessary technical corrections, such as re-inserting the definition of 'petroleum products' in Regulation 57 and updating terminology referring to the Syrian government.

Revoked regulatory exemptions and legal protections previously granted to EEA-based online service providers under retained EU law.

These Regulations repeal provisions related to the Country of Origin Principle (CoOP) previously established under the EU e-Commerce Directive. They remove exemptions that protected European Economic Area (EEA) based information society service providers from certain UK market access regulations and restricted the prosecution of such providers for specific criminal offences, including those under the Terrorism Act 2006 and laws regarding extreme pornography.

The instrument applies to the Secretary of State and affects EEA-based digital service providers active in the UK market.

The Regulations amended the Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 to correct errors, introduce 'interchangeable goods' provisions under Chapter 6 for repayment/remission claims, and link Chapter 5 relief to Chapter 6 claims, while inserting a 'fit and proper person' test for certain claims.

The Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 modify the existing 2020 Regulations concerning customs duties in Northern Ireland post-EU exit by correcting minor errors across several chapters and introducing two key substantive changes: establishing a linkage for claims between the Chapter 5 relief scheme and the Chapter 6 repayment/remission scheme, and introducing a mechanism for 'interchangeable goods' claims where identifying specific goods is impracticable due to mixing.

The commencement date for the Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 was officially changed from 20th April 2026 to 25th May 2026.

These Regulations, officially titled The Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2026, introduce a technical amendment to delay the enforcement date of a preceding Statutory Instrument, specifically S.I. 2026/393.

The Treasury exercised powers under the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 to move the commencement date for specific customs amendments in Northern Ireland from April 20th, 2026, to May 25th, 2026.

Expanded the categories of radio equipment exempt from licensing to include certain maritime autonomous devices, training stations, and broadband systems.

These regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations 2021 to remove the requirement for individual licences for certain classes of radio equipment.

They establish new categories for licence-exempt use, specifically covering autonomous maritime radio devices operating at 160.9 MHz, indoor maritime radio training equipment, and fixed wireless access apparatus in the 5.8 GHz band.

The regulations apply to any person or entity establishing, installing, or using such equipment within the United Kingdom or its territorial sea, provided the equipment meets specific technical interface requirements and does not cause undue interference.

Amended the Procurement Regulations 2024, PSR Regulations 2023, and Transitional and Saving Provisions Regulations 2024 concerning central digital platform usage, payment transparency, supplier identification, and contract termination based on national security grounds.

These Regulations amend several existing statutory instruments governing UK public procurement, primarily focused on refining the operation of the central digital platform, enhancing transparency requirements for contract payments, and modifying rules for below-threshold tenders.

Key changes include detailing payment information disclosure, allowing alternative publication methods when the central platform is down, creating mechanisms to reserve contracts for SMEs and value-driven NGOs, streamlining supplier identification requirements for smaller contracts, and introducing ministerial notification requirements before terminating specific healthcare contracts on national security grounds.

Exempted certain technology transfer agreements from the UK's Chapter I prohibition on anti-competitive practices, effective from May 2026.

This Order establishes a block exemption from the Chapter I prohibition of the Competition Act 1998 for specific technology transfer agreements involving the licensing or assignment of technology rights such as patents, know-how, and software copyright.

It directs that such agreements are exempt from competition law provided they meet specific market share thresholds and do not contain restricted anti-competitive clauses.

The Order applies to licensors and licensees operating in the United Kingdom and empowers the Competition and Markets Authority to withdraw the exemption in individual cases where an agreement is found to be anti-competitive.
