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.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>Currently, Member States do not contribute to individual agencies, but to EU budgets as a whole. It is therefore not possible to use the UK’s financing share of the whole budget to calculate our contribution to specific EU Agencies.</p><p>As set out in the Political Declaration on the Framework of the Future Relationship between the EU and the UK, we are exploring the possibility of cooperation of United Kingdom authorities with Union agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). We will carry on working with the European Union to see on what basis and under what conditions UK participation can take place. The exact arrangements will be a matter for the next phase of negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 13:45:54 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

We must respect both the will of the British people, and the democratic process which delivered this result.
