The Electronic Commerce (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

This instrument is being made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in order to address deficiencies arising in the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 (“the eCommerce Regulations 2002”) and the Electronic Commerce Directive (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2018 (“the eCommerce Regulations 2018”) as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union in the event of ‘no deal’ EU exit. These regulations, for which DCMS has responsibility, implement aspects of the eCommerce Directive (eCD) into UK law.
