answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has been clear that the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) will end as we leave the EU.</p><p>The Withdrawal Agreement ensures that the UK’s membership of the EU is wound down in an orderly way. It establishes a time-limited implementation period that provides a bridge to the future relationship, allowing businesses to continue trading as now until the end of 2020. As the implementation period is designed to ensure continuity and certainty for citizens and businesses, EU institutions, including the CJEU, will retain their current functions in respect of the UK.</p><p>After the implementation period, the CJEU will have jurisdiction, and the Commission will be able to bring infraction proceedings, only within the limited terms defined in the Withdrawal Agreement, which relate to the UK’s time as a Member State, the application of the implementation period, or the winding down of the application of EU law. Beyond that, UK courts will no longer be able to refer questions to the CJEU, other than for a time-limited period on the important matter of citizens rights and on very specific aspects of our exit from the EU budget. Disputes between the UK and the EU will not be resolved by the CJEU, but by a Joint Committee of the parties and an independent arbitration panel.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK and the EU agreed in the Political Declaration that the closer and deeper the partnership on law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the stronger the accompanying commitments.
