We have accordingly taken a central role, both as an EU Member State and internationally, to push forwards the cyber agenda. To contend with a truly global threat such as this we need a truly global response - with not only the UK and EU, but industry, government, like-minded states and NATO all working together to strengthen our cyber security capabilities.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In the future partnership paper on, ‘Foreign Policy, Defence and Development’, published in September last year, we listed a number of specific areas for potential cooperation and collaboration with the EU, ranging from the exchange of information about cyber threats and incidents through participation in the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) network and Co-operation Group to continuing to work to develop effective cyber security legislation and international standards.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK will also continue to work together with the EU to promote strategic frameworks for conflict prevention, cooperation and stability in cyberspace. These frameworks should consist of: the application of existing international law; the implementation of voluntary, non-binding norms of responsible state behaviour; and the development and implementation of practical cyber confidence building measures between states.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 10/05/2018 10:54:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State meets regularly with Ministerial counterparts from other EU Member States and with individuals in the EU institutions to discuss a wide range of policy issues linked to our exit from the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>During the first phase of negotiations the UK pushed hard to secure the right of onward movement for UK nationals with permanent status in another EU Member State. However, the European Commission felt that this was an issue that could not be resolved through the first phase of negotiations. This remains an important matter for the Government.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We have however agreed the continued recognition of qualifications, where recognition decisions were received or where recognition procedures were ongoing, before the end of the implementation period. This will cover the European Professional Card, qualifications recognised under the MRPQ directive for the purpose of establishment, lawyers practising under host State title, approved statutory auditors, and persons engaged in the trade and distribution of toxic products.</p><p> </p><p>The reciprocal agreement we have reached on citizens’ rights will mean that UK and EU citizens will be able to continue to move through EU countries as they do now, until the end of the implementation period. We will be setting out initial proposals for our future immigration arrangements, to apply after the implementation period, in due course.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/05/2018 14:25:45 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
