answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State meets regularly with EU counterparts to discuss issues related to our exit.</p><p>During the implementation period, UK nationals will be able to travel, work and live in the EU as they do now.</p><p>The Political Declaration makes clear that both sides will aim to provide visa-free travel for short-term visits, as well as other elements to support mobility in defined areas. We will be discussing the detail in the next phase of negotiations.</p><p>Our proposals for visa-free travel will apply in the event of a deal or no deal. Conditions for entry and stay of third country nationals in the EU for more than 90 days are a matter for each Member State to determine. In the event of a no deal, UK nationals staying in the EU for longer than 90 days will be subject to individual Member States' immigration rules. UK nationals will therefore need to check individual Member State immigration rules for information regarding entry and stay that would not fall under the Schengen arrangements.</p><p>The FCO provides travel advice to UK nationals travelling abroad on gov.uk. We have published advice on the steps that UK nationals may need to take to prepare for our exit from the EU, which can be found at <a href="http://gov.uk/euexit" target="_blank">gov.uk/euexit</a>. The Government will publish any necessary updates in due course.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 08/02/2019 11:37:50 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what assessment he has made of the potential financial effects of the backstop on UK trading opportunities with the rest of the world after the UK leaves the EU.
tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	217003
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>The UK will be able to negotiate, sign and ratify free trade agreements with rest of world partners and, if the backstop were to come into force following the Implementation Period, implement any elements that do not affect the functioning of the backstop. The backstop is not something that either the UK or the EU would ever want to come into force and, if it were to come into effect, both sides have been clear it should only be in place for a short time. The UK and EU are also legally obliged under the Protocol to use their best endeavours to facilitate trade between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, recognising the importance of that trade.</p><p>The Government’s long term economic analysis considers both the costs and benefits of moving to new trading relationships with the EU, and opportunities for ambitious new trade deals with new partners in the rest of the world. The analysis shows that the proposed deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy that allows us to honour the result of the referendum and realise the opportunities of EU exit. The analysis can be found at the following link: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760484/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Long-term_economic_analysis__1_.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760484/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Long-term_economic_analysis__1_.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 11/02/2019 15:39:24 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
