Analysts have predicted that the Great Repeal Bill may have
certain laws affected which may range from human rights to fish via vacuum
cleaners. Though most of these rules are known to be of best practice, some are
also said to be vague.
Free movement of
labour
The Australian-style points system of immigration is like to
be adopted here in the UK, where all migrants would be given a level playing
ground, and possibly refused entry into the selectively.
The Human Rights Act
Because foreign criminals usually take undue advantage of
the loopholes in the law to avoid being deported, a new law that will protect
lives and properties will replaced by a British Bill of Rights.
Toasters, kettles and
vacuum cleaners
According to EU laws made in 2013, it is demanded that
vacuum cleaners make resourceful use of electricity, which the EU is also planning
to extend to kettles, hair dryers, toasters etc.
But the British Parliament will have the power to decide
what kind of item to buy.
The tampon tax
This also will be replaced with a new policy that would be
introduced by the treasury.
One of the issue with this aspect was the argument made
concerning VAT on sanitary goods, that was tagged the tampon tax.
Working Time
Directive
This aspect is one that somehow protects the rights of
workers, as the current EU does not allow employers to force anyone to work for
more than 48 hours per week. But after the exit is concluded, pressure may be
mounted on the government to bring this law to an end.
Fishing
This is one aspect of the law that the likes of Boris
Johnson took advantage of during the referendum campaign.
Therefore, once officially out of the EU this would bring
some kind of good news to the British Fishing industry.
Temporary Agency
Workers Directive
According to this law, anyone who is being hired by agencies
will have same rights and pay, as every other worker in the same business
engaged to do the same work.
Though, some said eradicating such policy may become
unacceptable.
Renewables Directive
Reckoned by some to be the single most expensive piece of
Brussels-imposed legislation, it sets targets for combating climate change,
such as achieving a 20% share of energy from renewable sources by 2020, at a
reputed cost of £4.7bn a year. Brexiteers tend to be sceptical about climate
change, so may see this as a useful way to save money.
Going bananas
At the other end of the seriousness scale are EU rules on
wonky bananas. They are not banned, but they are classified by quality and
shape. Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape" and Class 2
bananas full-on "defects of shape".
Myths about the regulations became a lightning rod for all
who despair at the pointlessness of Brussels and its ideas.
