It establishes a time-limited implementation period that provides a bridge to the future relationship, allowing businesses to continue trading as now until the end of 2020. As the implementation period is designed to ensure continuity and certainty for citizens and businesses, EU institutions, including the CJEU, will retain their current functions in respect of the UK.</p><p>After the implementation period, the CJEU will have jurisdiction, and the Commission will be able to bring infraction proceedings, only within the limited terms defined in the Withdrawal Agreement, which relate to the UK’s time as a Member State, the application of the implementation period, or the winding down of the application of EU law. Beyond that, UK courts will no longer be able to refer questions to the CJEU, other than for a time-limited period on the important matter of citizens rights and on very specific aspects of our exit from the EU budget. Disputes between the UK and the EU will not be resolved by the CJEU, but by a Joint Committee of the parties and an independent arbitration panel. The CJEU’s role will be strictly limited to the interpretation of EU law, consistent with the principle that the court of one party cannot determine disputes between the two.</p><p>In Northern Ireland, were the backstop to come into effect, the CJEU’s role would be strictly limited to interpreting and enforcing those small number of areas in which EU law would apply. However, as the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration make absolutely clear, we do not want or expect the backstop to be needed - and even if it were ever to come into effect, it would be strictly temporary.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris grouped question UIN 196895 question first answered 03/12/2018 16:24:21 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK and the EU agreed in the Political Declaration that the closer and deeper the partnership on law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the stronger the accompanying commitments. These may include the alignment of rules and the mechanisms for disputes and enforcement, including the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the interpretation of Union law.</p><p>As per the White Paper, the UK has always made clear that a deep and ambitious level of cooperation on internal security will also need to be underpinned by clear safeguards, such as robust governance arrangements, data protection arrangements and the protection of individual rights.</p><p>Furthermore, as the Prime Minister has always stated, we will respect the remit of the CJEU where we participate in an EU agency.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 06/12/2018 16:39:15 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
