	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>There are no plans to publish such an assessment. The Charter was not intended to create new rights but rather to catalogue the rights that already existed in EU law. The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill sets out how this underlying law is being converted into UK law at the point we exit the EU. <br><br>Furthermore, the Charter is not the only source of fundamental rights. Many of the rights protected in the Charter are not only found in EU law but are protected in domestic law and other international instruments, such as the European Convention on Human Rights.</p><p>For example, the right to protection of personal data (Article 8 of the Charter) is based on provisions in the EU Treaties, the Data Protection Directive (due to be replaced by an EU Regulation) and the respect for private life in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which is given effect domestically by the Human Rights Act 1998. It is also a general principle of EU law.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/10/2017 13:33:44 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) interprets European Union law and is the ultimate arbiter of EU law within the EU and its Member States. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an EU regulatory agency and therefore comes under the remit of the CJEU. EASA performs a limited number of executive functions on behalf of the EU, but it’s primary role is to provide technical rulemaking advice for the EU to adopt harmonised safety regulations implemented at national level.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 23/10/2017 13:36:29 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
