<p>The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will ensure that the whole body of existing
EU environmental law, including the Habitats and Wild Birds Directives, continues
to have effect in UK law, providing businesses, communities and stakeholders with
maximum certainty as we leave the EU. We will then have the opportunity, over time,
to ensure our legislative framework is outcome driven and delivers on our overall
commitment of improving the environment within a generation.</p><p> </p><p>The UK
has a long history of environmental protection and we will safeguard and improve on
this record. We will also continue to uphold all our obligations under international
environmental treaties. Producing a 25 Year Environment Plan is key to setting out
how we will improve our environment as we leave the EU and take control of our environmental
legislation again.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p>
