answer text <p>On 7 June, following discussions with the EU, the UK published ’Framework for the UK-EU Partnership - Transport’, setting out UK proposals for the future UK-EU relationship. This was reiterated in the recently published White Paper on the Future Relationship Between the UK and the EU, which made clear that the UK wants to explore options for a reciprocal access deal for road hauliers and passenger transport operators. There is a strong mutual interest in reaching an ambitious agreement, which maximises benefits for all our citizens and businesses.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act 2018 received Royal Assent on 19 July and provides for powers to introduce a permitting system in the event that this were needed. This is part of wider government preparations to ensure the UK can deliver a smooth and orderly Brexit.</p> more like this

We have been clear that we will make an appropriate financial contribution, dependent on the level of participation.

answer text <p>UK courts would pay due regard to CJEU case law in only those areas where the UK continued to apply a common rulebook. The common rulebook will cover goods including agri-food, where those rules are necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>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 has therefore proposed that it 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.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, these rights would be enforced in the UK by UK courts and in the EU by EU courts.</p><p>No longer will courts in the UK be able to refer cases to the CJEU, including in cases involving individuals and businesses. And at present, the UK is bound by all CJEU decisions - hundreds of decisions every year which have direct effect in the UK, whether the case originated in the UK or not. This will no longer be the case.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of ongoing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. This analysis helps define our future partnership with the EU, and informs our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks. Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would reveal our negotiating position and so the Government will not provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government is committed to positive and productive engagement with local governments across the UK, and will continue to work closely with them to understand the implications of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Ministers from across Government have also carried out extensive engagement on EU exit with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the economy and all regions of the UK, including those headquartered in Yorkshire.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The FCA combined with a common rulebook on agricultural and industrial goods should ensure that businesses from all over the UK including Yorkshire can continue to export to the EU with no new barriers or frictions.</p>
