It's part of the emissions control system. Catches fuel vapour.
As NZ isn't hot on requiring original emissions equipment to be retained you could remove it without any problem. I did on my racecar while it was still road legal and never had any problems with WOFs.

nope
the ecu threw up a trouble code when it had the factory ecu fitted because i disconnected the controller box
but wont put it into limp mode or anything and you will never see a check engine light (ever)
i only found the code about 6months later when i was checking for another problem
