answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government's position, as set out by the Prime Minister to Parliament on 22 February, is that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU.</p><p> </p><p>Under our new settlement the European Commission has agreed for the first time to set specific targets to reduce the overall burden on businesses in key sectors.

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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. However, in July 2011 the Government put in place its Guiding Principles for EU Legislation, which state that the Government will not go beyond the minimum requirements of the measure which is being transposed, save in exceptional circumstances. Since the Guiding Principles have applied there have been only five instances of new “gold-plating” of EU Directives that have placed additional costs on business which is attached.</p><br /> <br /> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 18/11/2015 17:25:48 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe attachment 1 file name guiding-principles-for-eu-legislation.pdf title Guiding principles for EU Legislation
