	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The right to declare an EU instrument invalid is something that can currently only be done by the Court of Justice of the European Union. In general, the Government considers that it does not make sense to create, for our domestic courts, an entirely new jurisdiction in which they are required to take on this function from the CJEU and consider, for example, questions around whether the relevant EU institution misused its powers or complied with the applicable procedural requirements.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, we recognise, for example, that in some circumstances, individuals and businesses may be individually affected by an EU instrument. For instance, a decision of an EU institution or body may be addressed directly to an individual or business.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This power could be used to enable a right of challenge in domestic law to the validity of retained EU law in such circumstances. This could include provision enabling a challenge which would have been against an EU institution to proceed against a relevant UK public authority instead.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We want to take the time to get this right and we will consider carefully the circumstances where it would be appropriate to enable challenges to be available in domestic law, and the best way of enabling those challenges to proceed. The Government is not planning to publish any draft regulations at Report Stage, but we are keen to listen to and take into account the views of Parliament on this important issue.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 29/03/2018 15:52:45 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

There are some aspects of the Commission’s proposals which we agree with - particularly the preservation of the Common Travel Area. The Prime Minister has made our position on the other elements of the draft text clear, and said that we could never accept this. There is agreement that the scope of the issues covered by the draft Protocol - focusing on goods and agriculture - reflects the right set of issues.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Following March European Council, the UK and EU negotiating teams are now engaged in an intensive round of discussions to negotiate in detail on all the issues and scenarios set out in the Joint Report.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 29/03/2018 15:48:57 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
