Answer
The UK remains a member of the EU until we leave, with full rights and obligations of membership. This includes transposing EU legislation into UK law. The only Directive that is awaiting transposition by the Department for International Trade is Directive (EU) 2016/970, amending Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of defence related products (OJ L 163, 21.6.2016, p.1). This is due to be implemented by the Export Control (Amendment) Order 2017.
