answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) interprets European Union law and is the ultimate arbiter of EU law within the EU and its Member States. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an EU regulatory agency and therefore comes under the remit of the CJEU. EASA performs a limited number of executive functions on behalf of the EU, but it’s primary role is to provide technical rulemaking advice for the EU to adopt harmonised safety regulations implemented at national level.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/10/2017 13:36:29 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

tabling member printed	Lord Smith of Finsbury
uin	HL2086
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>A clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU and we will respect the will of the British people. This was reinforced by the fact that in the last general election over eighty percent voted for parties committed to respecting the outcome of the referendum. There can be no attempts to remain inside the EU and no attempt to rejoin it. There is no precedent for a country triggering Article 50, let alone seeking to reverse such a decision. As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn for the simple reason that people voted to leave. And we are determined to see through that instruction.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 23/10/2017 11:48:51 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	107942
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>There are no plans to publish such an assessment. The Charter was not intended to create new rights but rather to catalogue the rights that already existed in EU law. The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill sets out how this underlying law is being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU. <br><br>Furthermore, the Charter is not the only source of fundamental rights. Many of the rights protected in the Charter are not only found in EU law but are protected in domestic law and other international instruments, such as the European Convention on Human Rights.</p><p>For example, the right to protection of personal data (Article 8 of the Charter) is based on provisions in the EU Treaties, the Data Protection Directive (due to be replaced by an EU Regulation) and the respect for private life in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which is given effect domestically by the Human Rights Act 1998. It is also a general principle of EU law.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/10/2017 13:33:44 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK is the third largest European car producer with its competitiveness underpinned by using a highly integrated European supply chain to support just-in-time production. We want British companies, including automotive, to have the greatest possible tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours.</p><p>Negotiating a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EU, greater in scope than any such agreement before, is a priority for the Government as we leave the EU. We want tariff-free trade with Europe, and for cross-border trade to be as frictionless as possible. The UK starts from a unique position – where our rules and regulations are the same as the EU, and where we share a commitment to high regulatory standards. The terms of our future trading relationship with the EU are a matter for the negotiation, however we are confident that a future partnership between the UK and the EU is in the interest of both sides, so we approach the negotiations anticipating success.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/10/2017 16:58:47 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
