answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>We are clear that spectrum should be used efficiently and effectively, given its importance to the economy. In the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, the Government stated its view that the development of a set of innovative 5G services and new investment models may require more flexible approaches to spectrum licensing. We have read the report with interest. Ofcom, as the national regulatory authority, is responsible for managing spectrum and ensuring that radio spectrum is used in the most effective way.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 11/12/2018 16:44:43 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>During the time-limited implementation period, EU law will continue to apply in the UK subject to the terms set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. After the implementation period, all laws in the UK will be passed by our elected representatives in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London. The Political Declaration recognises that the UK may choose to align with the EU’s rules in relevant areas to facilitate trade in goods or security cooperation.</p><p> </p><p>In the unlikely event that the backstop were to come into effect, a small fraction of EU rules applying today would apply in Northern Ireland and EU rules on state aid would apply in the UK. However, as the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration make absolutely clear, we do not want or expect the backstop to be needed - and even if it ever were ever to come into effect, it would be strictly temporary. The Official Journal of the European Union publishes upcoming EU legislation for implementation.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>The government is committed to sign and ratify the Withdrawal Agreement, which will allow for the Implementation Period until December 2020. During the Implementation Period, UK-based broadcasters will be free to broadcast to the EU with their Ofcom licence, and the government will be given an opportunity to negotiate the details of the future relationship between the EU and the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Broadcasting is not excluded or carved out of the political declaration, which is typically the case for trade agreements. Furthermore, the UK is a signatory to the Convention on Transfrontier Television which means that films and TV programmes made or produced in the UK will continue to have the status of European Works, which is of significant importance for industry.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, the future relationship with the EU on broadcasting, including on licensing arrangements, will depend on the exit negotiations. The UK is committed to seek the best possible arrangement for broadcasting that will work for UK businesses and audiences, and we will work closely with the sector to update them on any new developments. At the same time, the government will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventualities, including a no deal scenario.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 18/12/2018 15:46:52 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper on the future relationship sets out that future cooperation on intellectual property would provide important protections for rightsholders, giving them a confident and secure basis from which to operate in and between the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p><p>As we establish our future partnership with the EU, we aim to agree continued cooperation on intellectual property, where there is mutual benefit for the UK and EU. We are open to exploring whether this should include certain cross-border copyright mechanisms and arrangements, which will need to be the subject of negotiation.</p><p> </p><p>The UK recognises and values the importance of the creative industries to the UK economy. Over and above our future arrangements with the EU, the UK is a member of many international treaties and agreements protecting copyright. This means that the majority of UK copyright works (such as films, music, books and photographs) are protected around the world, irrespective of our relationship with the EU.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/12/2018 13:02:02 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
