<p>As the Prime Minister set out in her Mansion House speech, the UK is committed
to a continued system for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications as
part of a bold and ambitious future economic partnership.</p><p> </p><p>In December,
the UK Government agreed in the Joint Report with the EU the continued recognition
of qualifications for frontier workers and residents, where recognition decisions
were received or where recognition procedures were ongoing, before the withdrawal
date. This will include qualifications recognised under the MRPQ Directive (Directive
2005/36/EC), as well as lawyers practising under host title and approved statutory
auditors, which are currently covered separately in EU legislation.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government is firmly committed to the agreement in December and we are working with
the Commission to agree how they should be translated into legal form in the Withdrawal
Agreement. We are committed to turning the Joint Report into legal text as soon as
possible and it remains our shared aim to reach agreement on the entire Withdrawal
Agreement by October.</p>
