answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>Significant progress has been made on the Withdrawal Agreement, including reaching agreement at the March European Council on the legal text relating to the terms of an implementation period. This will start on 30 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. During the implementation period, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union, but market access will continue on current terms. Common rules will remain in place until the end of the period meaning businesses will be able to trade on the same terms as now up until the end of 2020.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government recognises the importance to the country’s economy for trade fluidity through the UK’s key ports. We want to ensure that traders, intermediaries and freight forwarders can continue to move goods through ports as quickly and seamlessly as they do now. We have set up a Border Delivery Group to bring together individual departmental plans, forming an overall picture and plan of what we need to do at borders.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/07/2018 11:08:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>On 7 June, following discussions with the EU, the UK published ’Framework for the UK-EU Partnership - Transport’, setting out UK proposals for the future UK-EU relationship. This was reiterated in the recently published White Paper on the Future Relationship Between the UK and the EU, which made clear that the UK wants to explore options for a reciprocal access deal for road hauliers and passenger transport operators. There is a strong mutual interest in reaching an ambitious agreement, which maximises benefits for all our citizens and businesses.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act 2018 received Royal Assent on 19 July and provides for powers to introduce a permitting system in the event that this were needed.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>In those areas where the UK agrees to retain a common rulebook, it will be important for businesses and citizens that they are interpreted and applied consistently. To ensure this, the UK has proposed that: its courts will pay due regard to the relevant Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) case law when deciding a case relating to these rules; and where there is a dispute between the UK and the EU, the Joint Committee or an independent arbitration panel will be able to ask the CJEU to give an interpretation of a common rule. This is a recognition of legal fact - no other court can bind the EU on the meaning of EU law.</p><p><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p><p>The UK has also proposed that the Joint Committee should keep under review the case law of both the senior courts of the UK and the CJEU, where this was relevant to the interpretation of the agreements. If significant divergences were found between respective courts’ interpretation of the agreements, the Joint Committee could be empowered to act to preserve the consistent interpretation of the agreements.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 24/07/2018 16:51:30 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman
