Great Britain plans for “sunset” EU laws post-Brexit doesn’t fit for target’ | Brexit

plans for the abandonment of EU laws after Brexit has been called “improper”. for target” by the government’s own independent appraiser.

Under new legislation that was the brainchild of in former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg, ths. of laws copied from the EU into the British legal code will ‘lose force’ by the end of next year if they are not signed off ministers who must be retained.

These include legislation on workers’ rights such as maximum maternity work and pay directives, and habitat protections that save endangered animals from development threats.

The Retained EU Bill (REUL) That Threatens up up to 4000 pieces of legislation previously characterized by legal experts as “reckless”. who say it’s bad designed and gives unprecedented power to ministers to personally decide which laws should stay and what should go.

The bill has been criticized by lawyers. who said it gave ministers unprecedented and “undemocratic” powers to enact or repeal laws without consultation.

The unions feared that trigger wave of deregulation of workers’ rights say it’s a “countdown to disaster”, while the Greens party MP Caroline Lucas told MPs that the bill was irresponsible and “ideologically motivated”.

government, an independent regulatory oversight body,
regulatory policy committee (RPC) reviewed the impact assessment for in plans and described it as “not fitting for goal”.

“The bill proposes to abolish more more than 2400 pieces of EU legislation retained (REUL) on December 31, 2023, if departmental review offers to save ofor changes to legislation or delay sunset until 2026.” says your report.

“No impact for changes into separate parts of REULs were evaluated at this stage. We asked the department commit to impact assessment of changed and outdated legislation for RCC check in in the future but not in the department made determined to do so.”

This implies government did not eliminate the influence of repeal of these laws on those who will be affected by them, explaining: “As an independent observer of improved regulation, we view that affected by regulatory change should reasonably expected government correctly consider the consequences of such changes.

“We are not sure that the impact of change or decline of each part of REUL will be calculated or understood by sentences currently in place – especially where there are no relevant by-laws. required”.

The watchdog has also criticized the expiration clause, which sets a deadline for all laws must be evaluated and then either changed, repealed, or retained. it says in government did not give sufficient justification behind in decision set this deadline in place.

The score reads:[The government] should make a stronger argument for why sunset of REUL is needed, not just a deadline for complete in review and change of REUL including relevant and reliable evidence support this position.”

Alice Hardiman, RSPB head of policy in England, said: “We spoke for months during which the retained EU bill does not fit for target and now uk government own regulatory policy The committee says the same. Far-reaching and devastating environmental impacts of this ill-conceived piece of legislation will affect so many areas of our life that government should do a decent job and take it now.”

BUT government the representative said: regulatory policy committee rating of our impact assessment for retained EU law bill disappointing but saves with ratings of many other enabling bills. Naturally with huge scope of the freedoms that this bill will give, and various sectors and departments in which it is involved, it is difficult to quantify the impact in impact assessment so far.

” government undertakes to accept full advantage of benefits of Brexit so we go ahead with our saved EU law bill that will end special legal status of all retained EU law. This will allow us to ensure our laws and regulations best meet the needs of country, removing unnecessary bureaucracy in order support jobs while maintaining important safeguards and safeguards.”
