<p>As part of the Withdrawal Agreement, we have agreed the continued recognition of
qualifications for residents and frontier workers, where recognition decisions were
received or where recognition procedures were ongoing, before the end of the implementation
period. This will cover qualifications recognised under the MRPQ directive, lawyers
practising under host title and approved statutory auditors.</p><p> </p><p>There are
a number of issues which the Commission deemed to be outside the scope of withdrawal
negotiations, including important rights such as home title practise for lawyers and
the status of licenses and certificates. We will seek to reach an agreement with the
EU that will cover these outstanding issues in the negotiations on the future economic
partnership.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister has been clear that we want UK professional
qualifications to continue to be recognised across the EU in the future, and vice
versa. This makes sense, given that they are already recognised. The March European
Council agreed guidelines for negotiations on our future relationship, which reference
the desire of the EU27 to include ambitious provisions on the recognition of qualifications.
This is a useful starting point for our negotiations on the future economic partnership.</p>
