answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government is working to secure continuity of our existing international agreements as we leave the EU. A number of these agreements include service-related elements, such as services chapters in existing EU Free Trade Agreements. The EU and UK agreed at the March European Council that, during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements and that the EU will notify third parties to these agreements to this effect. This approach provides certainty and confidence that there will be no disruption to existing relationships underpinned by international agreements. A number of countries have already publicly welcomed the approach. <br> <br>We are also engaging with partner countries to put in place successor agreements that replicate the effects of existing agreements as far as possible and will come into force following the implementation period. Our discussions with our international partners show a willingness to deliver continuity across these agreements.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/09/2018 16:46:23 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>The audiovisual sector is both economically and culturally important to the UK and the EU. In our future partnership with the EU, we are seeking to maintain regulatory flexibility in important parts of the UK’s services economy, including broadcasting. Overall, this represents the best, credible proposal for the future relationship and a new and fair balance of rights and obligations.</p><p>As the Prime Minister stated in the Mansion House speech, the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) will no longer apply in the UK after the UK leaves the EU and with it the single market. As a result, the “country of origin” principle, in which a company based in one Member State can be licenced by a national regulator and broadcast into any other Member State, will no longer apply.</p><p>The UK is seeking the best possible arrangements for the broadcasting sector. We are focussing on ensuring the ability to trade as freely as possible with the EU and supporting the continued growth of the UK and European broadcasting industry. In addition, due to the UK's ongoing participation in the Council of Europe's Convention on Transfrontier Television (CTT), which will not be affected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, works originating in the UK will continue to be classed as European Works, which is extremely important to industry.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 06/09/2018 14:28:42 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

We are confident that this is in the interests of both sides and we are working with the EU’s negotiating team at pace to agree the terms of our future relationship alongside the Withdrawal Agreement later this year.</p><p>At the end of that process, Parliament will have a vote. The vote offered by Government to Parliament will be either to accept or reject the deal. If the Withdrawal Agreement and the framework for our future relationship are not approved by the House of Commons, the Government will be unable to ratify the withdrawal agreement. As a matter of international law, the EU Treaties will cease to apply to the UK on 29 March 2019. .</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/09/2018 16:19:29 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>Once an agreement is reached between the UK and the EU on the shape of the future relationship, there is no reason to expect that either party will break the commitments the UK and the EU have made to each other. However, as is normal in international agreements, the UK and the EU will still need to agree on what should happen if one party is in breach of the agreements.</p><p><strong><br></strong>As the White Paper says, suspension measures should be rarely used, and when used should be limited, with priority given to those non-compliance measures which cause least damage to the functioning of the agreement. A financial penalty is another potential non-compliance measure. By way of example, the US has included financial compensation in eleven free trade agreements, including US-Australia and US-South Korea. Any non-compliance measures taken should end once any non-compliance has ended and where there is ongoing non-compliance measures should be renewed by notifying the Joint Committee.<strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 164339 164340 164934 question first answered 23/07/2018 16:53:28 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
