<p>The Government has been undertaking rigorous and extensive analysis work to support
our exit negotiations, as a responsible Government should, in order to inform our
understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.
We have been engaging with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the
economy, including ports and maritime; and with all regions of the UK as part of this
process, and we will continue to do so as we move forward.</p><p> </p><p>As the Prime
Minister has made clear, on leaving the EU, the UK will also be leaving the Single
Market and the Customs Union. The Future Partnership paper ‘Future Customs Arrangements’,
published last year, put forward two proposed approaches for the UK’s future customs
relationship with the EU. One is a highly streamlined customs arrangement, and the
other is a new customs partnership. The precise form of any new agreement will be
the subject of negotiation.</p><p> </p>
