“(A1)    

Retained EU law is to be interpreted in accordance with subsections (A3) to (A7),

Subsections (A3) to (A7) do not affect the application of section 7 to retained EU

fall within that section.

(A3)    

Retained EU law does not allow, prevent, require or otherwise apply to acts or

omissions outside the United Kingdom.

(A4)    

An EU reference is not to be treated, by reason of the UK having ceased to be a

member State, as preventing or restricting the application of retained EU law

within the United Kingdom or to persons or things associated with the United

Kingdom.

Functions conferred on the EU or an EU entity are to be treated as functions of

the Secretary of State.

(A6)

body to—

(a)    

consult, notify, co-operate with, or perform any other act in relation to an

EU body, or

(b)    

take account of an EU interest,

is to be treated as empowering the UK body to do so in such manner and to such

extent as it considers appropriate.

(A7)    

In subsection (A6)—

“a UK body” means the United Kingdom or a public authority in the United

Kingdom;

“an EU body” means the EU, an EU entity (other than the European Court),
