<p>Both the UK and the EU want to ensure that European manufacturing continues to
thrive in an increasingly competitive global market. Many manufactured goods sectors,
such as chemicals, aerospace goods, human and veterinary medicines and medical devices,
are subject to common rules across the EU. We recognise that adapting to new regulatory
requirements takes time, so the Government will provide continuity in goods regulation
for a temporary period after exit day.</p><p>This does not mean that everything will
stay the same, but the approach is intended to ensure that in many cases the regulatory
requirements for placing a manufactured good on the UK market will not significantly
change from those which currently apply. As a result, most goods that meet EU regulatory
requirements will continue to be recognised as valid for sale on the UK market.</p><p>This
approach will provide stability in the immediate short term for those businesses who
place goods on the UK market, as well as for consumers. It is intended only to apply
for a time-limited period after October 31. At the same time the Government is establishing
domestic frameworks which mean the UK will have the flexibility to set different rules
where it would benefit UK businesses and consumers.</p><p><strong></strong><br><br></p>
