	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2016 answer text <p>There are different types of EU laws, some of which are directly applicable in the UK (regulations), and others which may require domestic implementing measures to give them full effect (such as directives). Sometimes administrative rules or guidelines will be needed in the UK whilst on other occasions legislation may be necessary. Additionally, EU legislation may be new, or it may amend or repeal existing legislation. There is often a delay before an EU law enters into force for instance in order to enable Member States to adopt the necessary domestic implementing measures; different parts of EU laws may enter into force at different times. The information which brings together all these categories of EU measures is not held centrally. However details of all EU-derived legislation currently on the statute book in the UK can be found on our website at: legislation.gov.uk and on the Official Journal of the EU at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/oj/direct-access.html</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 13/01/2016 13:57:27 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

The act of leaving the EU means that it is inevitable that some elements of the EU’s supranational legal framework will not - and should not - be retained.</p><p>Clause 5 and the accompanying Schedule 1 set out a number of important exceptions to the general retention of EU law under the Bill. The provisions in this Clause and Schedule cover the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the principle of supremacy, challenges to the validity of an EU instrument, the general principles of EU law and Francovich damages.<strong> <br></strong></p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 23/11/2017 17:06:03 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
