answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>We welcomed the King's remarks, particularly that Brexit does not mean goodbye, but merely a new start in the close, historic relationship between the UK and the Netherlands. That is a view we share.</p><p>Safeguarding citizens’ rights is our first priority for negotiations.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government set out its position on the future economic relationship with the EU, including on intellectual property and the cross-border provision of legal services, in the White Paper published on 12 July 2018. The final outcome is subject to future negotiations with the European Union.</p><p>In the meantime, we have agreed withdrawal provisions with the EU that cover intellectual property and provide right holders and intellectual property practitioners with legal certainty. In particular, the Government will provide holders of EU trade marks and designs with equivalent UK rights so that they do not experience any loss of protection in the UK after the end of the implementation period. These rights will be provided automatically and for free.</p><p>Further, we are working with the EU to ensure that the Withdrawal Agreement contains appropriate provisions for intellectual property practitioners in pending proceedings before the EU Intellectual Property Office at the end of the implementation period. We have made excellent progress across the Withdrawal Agreement and are close to concluding an agreement setting out the terms of the UK’s exit from the European Union.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 05/11/2018 15:12:02 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2018 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister made clear in her Statement to the House on Monday 20 October 2018, the Future Framework agreement will take the form of a political declaration that will accompany and be referred to in the Withdrawal Agreement.
