answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2017 answer text <p>The amount of time taken to negotiate and ratify EU trade agreements can vary substantially. However, as an indication, negotiations for the Comprehensive Economic &amp; Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada were concluded after five years of formal talks, whilst negotiations with Vietnam and Singapore took three and four years respectively. The EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement of 2011 is the most recent agreement to be fully concluded, with the EU and all Member States having ratified by 2015. In each case, timeframes are not necessarily indicative for other agreements.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 13/01/2017 11:59:49 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Price on 8 November (HL2605) concerning trade in goods and services with the EU, whether non-EU countries listed in tables 1 and 2 have full access to the EU single market and which of them export more goods and services to the EU than the UK does.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL3231
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2016 answer text <p>The nature of the access to the EU single market that firms in countries outside the EU have when exporting to the EU depends on the nature of any trade agreements they might have with the EU. Any products and services they sell in the single market would have to comply with the EU and, where appropriate, Member State specific rules and requirements to do so, including payment of tariffs. In some cases, sanctions or other restrictions may be imposed thereby preventing, or limiting, access to the single market.</p><p>Data are not available from a single source for exports of goods and services combined. China is the only country outside the EU that exports more goods to the EU than the UK does. The United States is the only country outside the EU that exports more services to the EU than the UK does.</p><p><strong>(Source: Eurostat Comext International Trade in Goods and International Trade in Services databases)</strong></p> answering member printed Lord Price question first answered 29/11/2016 12:33:30 answering member 4570 label Biography information for Lord Price
