The Government has made clear in its offer on Citizens\u2019 Rights that it intends to protect the right of UK nationals and EU migrants already exporting a benefit at the specified date to continue to be able to export that benefit when the UK exits the EU, subject to on-going entitlement to the benefit.<\/p>
In most cases, UK nationals in other EU Member States are currently entitled to receive benefits from the country in which they are living and working. What happens to these arrangements after exit is a matter to be discussed with our EU partners.<\/p>

The Charter of Fundamental Rights simply reaffirms rights which already exist in EU law, including the principle that everyone is equal before the law. As EU law and Court of Justice EU case law will be preserved as provided for in the EU (Withdrawal) Bill: it is the Government\u2019s intention that the removal of the Charter from UK law will not affect the substantive rights that individuals already benefit from in the UK, as the Charter was never in itself the source of those rights.<\/p>
The protections covered in domestic equality legislation, such as the Equality Act 2006, the Equality Act 2010 and equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland, will continue to apply once the UK has left the European Union.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s White Paper 'Legislating for the United Kingdom\u2019s withdrawal from the European Union', quotes research from the House of Commons Library which indicates that there have been around 7,900 statutory instruments which have implemented EU legislation. This figure does not include statutory instruments made by the devolved administrations which will also observe and implement EU obligations in areas within their competence. The Department has identified 6,441 statutory instruments made under the European Communities Act 1972. As part of this exercise the department did not record the number of SIs that had been superseded or amended as this information was not relevant to the work needed on correcting the statute book.<\/p>
Departments are working through their own statute book to determine where corrections may need to be made once the EU law has been converted into UK domestic law.<\/p>

Between January and June 2017, 476 EU proposals and other documents were submitted for scrutiny.<\/p>
Across both Houses there were 66 occasions when the Government supported decisions in the EU Council of Ministers before the scrutiny procedures had been completed by either one or both Scrutiny Committees.<\/p>
In each case the Government explained to the Scrutiny Committees why it was important for the proposal to be supported before clearance had been provided. This period of reporting coincided with the dissolution of Parliament where between the prorogation of Parliament between 27 April and 30 June there was no opportunity for scrutiny by the Commons European Scrutiny Committee and the Committee has yet to be reappointed in the new Parliament. However, Lord Boswell of Aynho was reappointed as Chair of the Lords European Union Committee on 21 June and began considering EU documents and EMs submitted to the Committee on 27 June. As with previous six-monthly periods, the largest category of instrument was fast-moving and sensitive CFSP and EU restrictive measures where there were 29 such instruments adopted before scrutiny could be completed. There was also a package of 27 measures on which HM Treasury submitted EMs on the 2017 National Reform Programmes of Member States other than Greece, which were endorsed by Heads of Government at the June European Council without the opportunity for clearance by either Scrutiny Committee.<\/p>

The shape of the UK\u2019s future relationship with Euratom is subject to negotiations with the EU and our aim, throughout these negotiations, will be to maintain our mutually successful civil nuclear cooperation with Euratom and the rest of the world.<\/p>"}
