	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>As article 129(1) of the Withdrawal Agreement makes clear, the UK will continue to be bound by obligations arising from our international agreements during the implementation period. We have agreed with the EU that they will notify treaty partners that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of its international agreements with third countries during this period. The notification is intended to cover international agreements as defined in the Withdrawal Agreement - international agreements concluded by the Union, by Member States acting on its behalf, or by the Union and its Member States acting jointly.</p><p>In accordance with the principle of sincere cooperation, the UK has committed during the implementation period, to refrain from any action or initiative which is likely to be prejudicial to the Union’s interests. In particular in the framework of any international organisation, agency, conference or forum of which the UK is a party in its own right. This will not prevent the UK from negotiating, signing and ratifying new international agreements to come into force after the Implementation Period, even where the subject matter of those agreements would ordinarily be within the exclusive competence of the Union.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 21/12/2018 08:58:39 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>We value our international agreements and want to continue to cooperate in key global issues such as air services, trade, climate change, international development and nuclear cooperation. We have agreed with the EU that they will notify treaty partners that, during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of its international agreements. This approach provides a basis for continuity across all relevant agreements.</p><p>A number of third countries (including Canada, Chile, Israel, Switzerland, South Africa, and Singapore) have welcomed the focus on delivering continuity into the implementation period. Countries are understandably waiting for the notification to be issued by the EU before they are able to confirm their clear agreement, and we are continuing to engage with them.</p><p>We are also engaging with our international partners in order to put in place arrangements that will come into force following the implementation period, and are making good progress with this work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 21/12/2018 08:59:53 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
