answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>After 29 March 2019, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the EU. The UK will no longer sit at the European Council table or in the Council of Ministers, and will no longer have Members of the European Parliament.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, as set out in the agreement endorsed by the March European Council, representatives or experts from the UK may continue to attend meetings of certain EU committees, agencies, and other bodies during the implementation period, where the presence of the UK is necessary and is in the interests of the Union, or where the discussion concerns acts addressed to the UK and its citizens.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>No decisions have yet been made on our future relationship with the EU's bodies after the implementation period. The Government is considering very carefully a range of options, but where there is a demonstrable national interest in pursuing a continued relationship with an EU body, we will carefully examine whether we should pursue this. This will be a matter for negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 14/05/2018 16:11:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
