<p>The draft Withdrawal Agreement provides, at article 7, that all references to Member
States and competent authorities of Member States in provisions of Union law made
applicable by the agreement shall be understood as including the UK and its competent
authorities during the implementation period (subject to the exceptions provided for
in article 7). The asterisk to article 129 of the draft Agreement further foresees
that the EU will notify treaty partners that the UK is treated as a Member State for
the purposes of international agreements during the implementation period. The draft
Withdrawal Agreement was signed off by the Member States at November European Council.</p>
