ANY and ALL EU laws including those proposed by the UK when still a member and even those greatly benefitting the UK and UK industries are inherently "bad" because they were made whilst we were a member? (For example the huge EU subsidies for our farmers and fishing industries)
Am I understanding?
And that it's worth spending tax payer money and time to simply replicate but remove the word "EU" from said statutes?
Is that right?
That's how I understood it, just the same as I understood it the previous time it was written.
Still, it's a puzzle to me why people might get the impression that Brexit-supporters are gut-driven xenophobes.
We've transposed a whole lot of EU law into UK law at our departure so there's still plenty of it.
I guess I can accept that as each law needs to be revised, it is replaced with a UK parliament passed substitute. I suspect this is what will happen anyway but that does mean that some EU derived legistlation is likely to continue to be law in the UK for decades to come.
The European Communities Act 1972, I was delighted to see, ceased to have effect in the UK from 01/01/2021.
Getting the relationship right is more important than whether a law was derived from our time as an EU member state, I'd agree to that I suppose, but ultimately I want those laws replaced if they can be.
The EU WTD which somebody asked about is now part of UK law as the "Working Time Regulations" as I understand it. I can't see it changing, as it stands I probably wouldn't seek to change it.
