Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee report 

The most recent Brexit and Beyond Bulletin from the NI Assembly’s EU Affairs team features the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee's report on Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 that aims to establish a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials. 

According to the Committee, most of the regulation does not fall within the scope of the Windsor Framework, although some articles of it do make technical amendments to a number of EU Regulations that do apply under it.  

However, the Committee concluded that having considered its commissioned legal advice, the replacement EU act does not significantly differ, in whole or in part, from the content or scope of the regulations which it amends.
