The final outcome is subject to future negotiations with the European Union.</p><p>In the meantime, we have agreed withdrawal provisions with the EU that cover intellectual property and provide right holders and intellectual property practitioners with legal certainty. In particular, the Government will provide holders of EU trade marks and designs with equivalent UK rights so that they do not experience any loss of protection in the UK after the end of the implementation period.

We have made excellent progress across the Withdrawal Agreement and are close to concluding an agreement setting out the terms of the UK’s exit from the European Union.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 05/11/2018 15:12:02 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL10880
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government has engaged with the EU and Member States on the importance of continued cooperation in respect of civil judicial matters, including cross-border insolvency. In doing so we have highlighted the role that civil judicial cooperation plays in enabling businesses to trade with confidence across borders, providing legal certainty in cross-border transactions and avoiding delays and excessive costs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has therefore made clear that an effective framework of civil judicial cooperation is an important part of the deep and special partnership we want to establish with the EU on exit, and is in the best interests of both the UK and the EU. This ambition was set out in the Government’s position paper on Civil Judicial Cooperation, “Providing a cross-border civil judicial cooperation framework”, issued on 22 August 2017, and confirmed in the White Paper “The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union” published on 12 July 2018.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 01/11/2018 17:02:59 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL10244
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2018 answer text <p>The Civil Aviation Authority, as the UK’s aviation safety regulator, keeps the risks posed to aviation and passenger safety under review. The Government has also committed to improving the consumer experience as a whole as part of the Aviation Strategy, due for publication mid-2019. Both safety and disruptive passenger behaviour have been specifically identified as key issues to explore and address as the strategy is developed.</p><p> </p><p>There are strong legal provisions in place to deal with the problem of disruptive behaviour. The main legislation under UK law relating to the rules of conduct on board aircraft is the Air Navigation Order (ANO), which carries severe penalties for disruptive behaviour. It is an offence under the ANO to enter an aircraft when drunk, or be drunk in an aircraft, carrying a maximum of two years in prison and/or an unlimited fine. In addition, the UK has state of landing and state of operator jurisdiction, which means that disruptive passengers on any flight that touches down within the UK can be charged and, if necessary, prosecuted.</p><p> </p><p>This is an issue that the Government is taking very seriously, the Home Office will shortly be publishing a Call for Evidence on revoking licensing laws to help address the problem of drunk and disorderly airline passengers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 25/09/2018 14:33:56 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL10246
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2018 answer text <p>During this legislative cycle, the Government does not intend to complete the ratification of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Montreal Protocol 2014 on disruptive passengers. The majority of the provisions within this protocol are already part of UK law, and we are confident we can take necessary action in regard to disruptive passengers. For example, the UK already has “state of landing” and “state of operator jurisdiction”, which means that disruptive passengers on any flight that touches down within the UK can be charged and, if necessary, prosecuted. No other European Union countries have ratified the 2014 Montreal Protocol.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/09/2018 12:50:28 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
