The EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. However, at the March European Council we agreed with the EU that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements for the duration of the implementation period. This includes the EEA Agreement. Alongside the Withdrawal Agreement, the EU undertook to notify its treaty partners that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of EU international agreements during the implementation period.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/01/2019 12:27:23 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
