Regulation is a complex intra-disciplinary subject, but many commentators have acknowledged that there is scope for reform of existing EU regulations. Formulating the UK’s post-Brexit regulatory regime will involve addressing key questions, such as:
- Has the precautionary principle stifled innovation and proved costly to business?
- Would the UK as a standalone WTO trading nation be challenged if it retained this approach?
- Is there sufficient science to support changes in health and welfare standards that the UK consumer would accept?
- Would deviation from the precautionary principle undermine attempts at a FTA with EU27?
- What would a domestic regulatory system look like? And how would it be enforced?
