This is at the ambitious end of existing free trade agreements. We will also be an independent WTO member and able to set our own goods tariffs. Beyond goods, we will be able to negotiate in areas of real importance to our economy, such as services and digital.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/07/2018 17:05:13 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 33 of Chapter Four of the White Paper, The future relationship between the UK and the EU, Cm. 9593, published on 12 July 2018, what the differences are between the current prevailing legal principles relating to the CJEU and the approach to the case law of the EU there envisaged.

uin	164337
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has always been clear that in leaving the EU, we will bring about an end to the jurisdiction of the CJEU in the UK. The proposal set out in the White Paper delivers on that commitment. No longer will courts in the UK be able to refer cases to the CJEU, nor will the CJEU be able to arbitrate disputes between the UK and the EU. The CJEU will no longer have the power to make laws for the UK and the principles of direct effect and of the supremacy of EU law will no longer apply in the UK.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Instead, rights will be enforced in the UK by UK courts and in the EU by EU courts. Where the UK agrees to retain a common rulebook with the EU, it will be important for businesses and citizens here and in the EU that those areas are interpreted and applied consistently. The UK would commit by treaty that its courts would pay due regard to CJEU case law, insofar as this was relevant to the matter before them. This is a recognition of legal fact - no other court can bind the EU on the meaning of EU law. Of course, this is in practice what our Courts would do anyway, and are free to do with the judgements of foreign courts. Importantly, UK courts would not be able to make preliminary references to the CJEU as once the UK has left the EU, such references would no longer be appropriate or necessary.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 164344 question first answered 23/07/2018 16:48:17 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

However, as is normal in international agreements, the UK and the EU will still need to agree on what should happen if one party is in breach of the agreements.</p><p><strong><br></strong>As the White Paper says, suspension measures should be rarely used, and when used should be limited, with priority given to those non-compliance measures which cause least damage to the functioning of the agreement.

Parliamentary scrutiny is integral to ensuring accountability and the Government recognises the expertise in the existing scrutiny structures in the Commons and the Lords. The UK Parliament will have a role in overseeing and scrutinising any proposals that relate to ongoing cooperation between the UK and the EU under the agreements. The Government will bring forward further legislation, as appropriate, to give effect to the future relationship in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 164334 164936 164939 question first answered 23/07/2018 16:44:00 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
