	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what charges they expect to be applied after Brexit to UK credit card transactions in EU member states.
	tabling member printed	Lord Bruce of Bennachie
	uin	HL13978
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK and EU negotiating teams have reached agreement on the terms of an Implementation Period that will start on 29 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. During the Implementation Period, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union, but market access will continue on current terms. This would mean that the current ban on surcharging consumer credit and debit cards, as set out in the second Payment Services Directive, would apply during an Implementation Period.</p><p> </p><p>In the event that the UK leaves the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement or Implementation Period, credit and debit card transactions with UK payment cards in EU member states could become more expensive and surcharges may be applied, given the UK would be treated as a third country in relation to the EU. As the second Payment Services Directive, which currently bans surcharging for consumer credit and debit cards issued in EU Member States, would no longer apply to UK payment cards, any changes would be a result of the laws of individual EU Member States. The UK Government cannot legislate with respect to surcharges applied by merchants in the EU, and any decision to apply a surcharge would be a commercial decision by the merchant.</p><p> </p><p>Merchants in the UK will continue to be banned from applying surcharges to payments made by a consumer credit or debit card issued by a provider based in the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 11/03/2019 15:08:44 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

	tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
	uin	HL14017
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s ambition for the future relationship is to preserve the economic benefits of the most important financial services traded between the UK and EU, and ensure stable institutional processes for governing it. This ambition is reflected in the Political Declaration agreed between UK and EU negotiators last November.</p><p> </p><p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority, and the Prime Minister is continuing to work to obtain legally binding changes to the Withdrawal Agreement that deal with parliament’s concerns on the backstop. However, it is the role of a responsible Government to prepare for all outcomes, including no-deal.</p><p> </p><p>As a result, the Government - through the onshoring programme and Financial Services (Implementation of Legislation) Bill - is also doing the necessary work to make sure that we continue to have a stable and functioning financial services regime at the point of leaving the EU in any scenario and to minimise disruption for UK households and businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s post-Brexit strategy for financial institutions will depend heavily on the final terms of our exit from the European Union, and the nature of our relationship post-Exit. We remain committed to preserving our competitive position as a world leader in financial services after the UK has left the EU.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 11/03/2019 15:29:11 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
