At least seven big policies have been changed that have put a chasm between the EU and the UK on environmental regulation. These include:
- EU-derived air pollution laws that will be removed under the retained EU law bill.
- Dozens of chemicals banned in the EU are still available for use in the UK.
- Thirty-six pesticides banned in the EU have not been outlawed in the UK.
- The UK is falling behind on reducing carbon emissions as the EU implements carbon pricing.
- The EU is compensating those who are struggling to afford the costs of the green transition, while the UK is not.
- The EU is implementing stricter regulations on battery recycling, while the UK is not.
- Deforestation is being removed from the EU supply chain, while the UK’s proposed scheme is more lax and does not come in until a year later.
