18: After Clause 2, insert the following new Clause—

“Status of EU directives adopted, but not implemented, before exit day

(1) EU directives adopted by the EU before exit day remain binding, as if the United Kingdom had not left the EU.

(2) In implementing any EU directive covered by subsection (1) after exit day, a Minister of the Crown may use any power set out in the European Communities Act 1972 as if that Act had not been repealed.

(3) If, through implementing a directive under subsection (2), a situation arises which would be considered a deficiency had it arisen in retained EU law, a Minister of the Crown may use any of the powers set out in section 7 of this Act to remedy that situation as if that directive had been implemented before exit day.”
