answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>Article 4 of Regulation (EC) 1071/2009 requires a transport manager employed by an EU transport operator to be resident in the Community. The eligibility of UK-resident transport managers to work for an operator in an EU member state when the UK is no longer a member of the EU will be a matter for negotiation.</p><p> </p><p>On 7 June, following discussions with the EU, the UK published ‘Framework for the UK-EU Partnership - Transport’, setting out UK proposals for the future UK-EU relationship. The recently published White Paper on the Future Relationship Between the UK and the EU made clear that the UK wants to explore options for a reciprocal access deal for road hauliers and passenger transport operators. There is a strong mutual interest in reaching an ambitious agreement, which maximises benefits for all our citizens and businesses.<strong> <br></strong></p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 26/07/2018 13:46:34 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman
