answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2018 answer text <p>The UK agreed in the Joint Report that a backstop option to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland and Ireland and maintain the economic integrity of the UK should be translated into legally binding text. The Prime Minister has been clear that the current drafting of the EU’s backstop proposal is unacceptable. We will bring forward our own proposal in due course.</p><p>With regard to the second point, the UK and EU negotiating teams have reached agreement on the terms of an implementation period that will start on 30 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. During this period the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union, but market access will continue on current terms.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 06/06/2018 16:04:34 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made on the mutual recognition of professional qualifications in the Brexit negotiations.
tabling member printed	Lord Trees
uin	HL8149
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>As part of the Withdrawal Agreement, we have agreed the continued recognition of qualifications for residents and frontier workers, where recognition decisions were received or where recognition procedures were ongoing, before the end of the implementation period. This will cover qualifications recognised under the MRPQ directive, lawyers practising under host title and approved statutory auditors.</p><p> </p><p>There are a number of issues which the Commission deemed to be outside the scope of withdrawal negotiations, including important rights such as home title practise for lawyers and the status of licenses and certificates. We will seek to reach an agreement with the EU that will cover these outstanding issues in the negotiations on the future economic partnership.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister has been clear that we want UK professional qualifications to continue to be recognised across the EU in the future, and vice versa. This makes sense, given that they are already recognised. The March European Council agreed guidelines for negotiations on our future relationship, which reference the desire of the EU27 to include ambitious provisions on the recognition of qualifications. This is a useful starting point for our negotiations on the future economic partnership.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/06/2018 14:51:45 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
