answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 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 in 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. After the implementation period, 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. The CJEU’s role will be strictly limited to the interpretation of EU law, consistent with the principle that the court of one party cannot determine disputes between the two.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 27/11/2018 11:11:54 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK’s proposal for future security cooperation with the EU, as set out in the Technical Note on External Security, is aligned with the Government’s White Paper on the Future Relationship published on 12 July 2018, and reflected in the Political Declaration on the Framework for the Future Relationship.</p><p>The future relationship on foreign policy, defence and development is based on a flexible relationship, which enables us to activate and intensify UK-EU cooperation during a crisis or on a shared priority, where it is in our mutual interest. The UK will make independent choices in foreign policy, defence and development, and our national security will remain the sole responsibility of the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 27/11/2018 11:19:58 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement, if there is a dispute which involves a question on the interpretation of EU law, the panel will not decide on that question, but request the CJEU to give a ruling on it. It will, however, still be for the arbitration panel to rule on the dispute itself.</p><p>Under the EU Treaties, the CJEU is the only body which can deliver interpretations of EU law which bind the EU and its Member States. If the arbitration panel was empowered to interpret EU law and bind the EU and its Member States to this interpretation, it would be considered unlawful by the CJEU and prevent the EU from being able to sign up to such a provision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 27/11/2018 11:14:27 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
