	tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	20107
	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
