In a deal scenario, flights will continue as now during the time-limited Implementation Period. In a no deal scenario, the EU have adopted a regulation which gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU for 12 months, and the UK will reciprocate these rights for EU airlines.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>The principal role of the Government has been to agree the specific areas of expenditure, ensuring that they have wider security and infrastructure resilience benefits. It is for Eurotunnel, not Government, to determine the selection and prioritisation of projects. Government will, consistent with the Settlement Agreement, consider how the expenditure is committed or expended. If there are concerns about whether it is being used for a permitted purpose it would fully exercise its rights under the dispute resolution process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 22/03/2019 12:33:50 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>ECMT permits are unlikely to be needed because an EU measure on basic road connectivity is about to be adopted which would allow for the majority of road haulage journeys currently undertaken by UK hauliers to continue during 2019 without the need for permits.</p><p> </p><p>The applications from the current ECMT window will be combined with the unsuccessful applications from the first window.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s priority remains to secure a withdrawal agreement with the European Union which maintains current, liberalised, permit-free arrangements.</p><p>An EU measure on basic road connectivity is about to be adopted which would allow for the majority of road haulage journeys currently undertaken by UK hauliers to continue during 2019 without the need for permits. The measure would also apply to haulage operations on the Isle of Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>The EU measure would remove the immediate need for bilateral agreements, although we continue to prepare for such arrangements with Member States in case the Regulation is not adopted in time.</p><p> </p><p>This approach is in line with the joint report published in December 2017 by the UK and the EU. It makes clear our steadfast commitment to upholding the Belfast Agreement in full. Specifically, preserving cross-border cooperation on transport in full.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/03/2019 11:31:04 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
