European Communities Act 歐洲共同體法

European Communities Act
繁：歐洲共同體法
简：欧洲共同体法

脫歐公投至今三個多月，保守黨的內部分歧由「脫歐對留歐」變成「硬脫歐對軟脫歐」，其中硬脫歐派力主立即廢除讓歐盟凌駕英國法律的《1972年歐洲共同體法》。文翠珊昨天在保守黨大會宣佈準備在明年4至5月的女皇演說上，提出廢除《歐洲共同體法》的「大廢除法案」（Great Repeal Bill）讓國會表決，若然通過將於英國正式脫歐當日即時生效，她形容「這將是英國重新成為獨立主權國家的開端」，現已引入的歐盟法例會轉為英國法例，政府日後可因應情況決定存廢和修改。

What is 1972 European Communities Act?

The UK Parliament passed the European Communities Act in 1972 which gave instant effect to EU law.

This means if there is a clash between an act of UK Parliament and EU Law, EU law will always succeed.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) interprets EU law with judgments that were binding on all member states.
