Brexit: Brexiteer Urges Boris to Cut EU Red Tape for Bonfire on Brexit | United Kingdom | New

Dr Lee Rotherham, former director of special projects at Vote Leave and historian, told Prime Minister to throw EU rules on 'Brexit bonfire' to ensure the country can leave the bloc . In the Telegraph, Dr Rotherham said: "Taking a step back from the EU's single regulatory market means that the country no longer needs to implement a multitude of EU laws. EU, except where they specifically cover exported goods. When existing laws included lines of constraint or fractures, these are no longer "out of scope" and can be modified or consolidated. "

Dr. Rotherham then touched on a number of specific areas which he said could be changed by the government – highlighting some bizarre rules.

It started with the strange idea that almost 20 years ago, regulations required that the packaging of salmon contain the words "may contain fish".

Dr. Rotherham added: "You might laugh, but rather than taking the opportunity to correct this, the new regulations of 2011 reiterated this requirement.

"After Brexit, we can be more flexible in labels for the UK market – a victory for small businesses that do not export to the EU."

He also dispelled the strange rule implemented by the block's food safety watchdog which prohibited any marketing that claimed that regular consumption of water could reduce dehydration.

He added: "After Brexit, common sense can be exercised rather than exorcised."

The historian also called for a reconsideration of the so-called "eco-design rules", which he described as reducing "the deployable power for vacuums and ovens, and changed the domestic use of light bulbs ".

Instead, said Dr. Rotherham, the consumer should have more choices about what best suits their individual needs.

In the same vein, he also suggested that Britain abandon regulations on waste electrical and electronic equipment, which would have cost £ 300 million more than it did. # 39; generate it.

Given the environment, Britain will no longer be subject to strict rules on the air quality standards of the European bloc.

While Dr. Rotherham acknowledges the desire for a clean environment, he also said that the money saved through fines for non-compliance could be spent on promoting electric vehicles and installing charging stations for hybrid and electric vehicles.

An obscure law, but one that affects a large part of the British community, is the EU regulation on animal by-products, which prevents farmers from burying dead livestock on land, no matter what. Place.

The process could prove costly and Dr. Rotherham suggested that exemptions be put in place to help farmers.

Dr Rotherham also assessed the working time directive which entered into force by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union in 2003.

The law means that people cannot work more than 48 hours per week on average over 17 weeks.

Although highlighting these rules is now at the heart of employer-employee agreements, he questioned the withdrawal system granted by Whitehall, which allows workers to work more than 48 hours per week if they choose to. wish.

He wrote: "Perhaps the officially estimated cost of £ 4 billion is worth paying.

"But if that is the case, why did the senior levels of Whitehall and the senior staff of the Commission both choose to deploy their opt-out?"

Dr Rotherham also drew attention to the rules for genetically modified crops, nitrates and waste disposal, which could all be questioned as part of a radical overhaul of the how the country is run.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak will present a hastily prepared budget tomorrow after the surprise departure of his predecessor and friend, Sajid Javid.

As the government hopes to tackle a post-Brexit Britain and present an ambitious spending plan for the next five years, it will now be forced to discuss the spread of the coronavirus.

It is expected that, among other problems to be resolved, NHS spending will be at the top of the agenda, with an extra boost to provide to strengthen health services as fears of a pandemic increase.

A problem on Dr Rotherham's list, climate and the environment, seems to be one of Mr Sunak's priorities, as the government needs to define how the government will spend £ 6.3 billion set aside for the environment. ;energetic efficiency.

The budget will then be considered in the House of Commons, but is generally adopted by the House as a matter of precedent.
