	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

This means the Withdrawal Bill will, so far as possible, maintain the status quo in this regard and provide a good starting point for a deep and special partnership with the EU. Through the Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill we will legislate for the Implementation Period. As the PM said in her Florence speech, the framework for this strictly time-limited period, which can be agreed under Article 50, would be the existing structure of EU rules and regulations.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>With regards to the future regulatory relationship this is subject to negotiations, but as the PM set out this should be straightforward in areas where regulation is outside the scope of our trade and economic relations. But there will be areas which do affect our economic relations where we and our European friends may have different goals; or where we share the same goals but want to achieve them through different means. This is where we recognise that the single market is built on a balance of rights and obligations, and so our task is to find a new framework that allows for a close economic partnership but holds those rights and obligations in a new and different balance.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As negotiations progress, we will continue to seek the input of businesses across a range of issues, including on the subject of rules and regulatory differences between the EU and UK.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 28/11/2017 15:34:30 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

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
