<p>A new Independent Monitoring Authority will monitor how the Citizens’ Rights provisions
of the Withdrawal Agreement are implemented and applied in the UK, helping to provide
certainty to EU citizens in the UK. Its powers will have effect from the end of the
implementation period. The Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill, which will
implement the final Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union, will make provision
for the establishment of this independent monitoring authority.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We
will come forward in due course with more details about the shape of this new authority,
but we are clear that it will need to receive complaints from EU citizens and their
family members; conduct its own inquiries into alleged breaches of Part Two of the
Agreement by administrative bodies; and institute legal proceedings to seek an adequate
remedy. The IMA will publish an annual report to the specialised Committee for Citizens’
Rights, (sitting under the Joint Committee governing the Withdrawal Agreement).</p>
