Interpretation and effect of retained EU Law Section 7: Compatibility
Subsection (1) provides that a national authority (a UK government or devolved government minister) may make regulations providing that subsection (2) applies to the relationship between –
specified standard domestic legislation or specified provisions of any standard domestic legislation, and
specified retained direct EU legislation (RDEUL) or specified provisions of any RDEUL.
	Where subsection (2) applies, it gives priority to RDEUL, so that the specified standard domestic legislation (or specified provisions of this legislation) –
must, as far as possible, be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with the specified RDEUL (or specified provisions of this legislation), and
is subject to that RDEUL (or those provisions) so far as it is incompatible with it.
	Where subsection (2) applies, the relationship between standard domestic legislation and RDEUL specified by the new section 5(A2) of EUWA, which is inserted by section 3, does not apply. (That provision gives priority to standard domestic legislation over RDEUL.)
	Subsection (3) establishes that the provision that can be made by regulations under this section can be made by making modifications to any enactment.
	Subsection (4) provides that no regulations may be made under this section after 23 June 2026.
	Subsection (5) defines "domestic enactment" consistently with the meaning it has in section 5 of EUWA (as inserted by section 3(2) of this Act).
