The same would apply for EU citizens making business visits to the UK. All provisions are subject to negotiation, and we recognise the significance of this to the UK’s world renowned music industry.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>These mobility arrangements will only represent what we agree reciprocally with the EU.
