answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>We have now agreed in principle a draft Withdrawal Agreement with the other 27 EU nations. To ensure that citizens and businesses in the UK and across the EU can plan for life after our withdrawal with confidence, this sets out the terms of an implementation period during which EU citizens and UK nationals will be able to sail into EU waters as they do now.</p><p>The UK Government sees no reason why UK boaters should see any change as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU. For the most part, it is the rules and regulations of coastal states that apply rather than visas or EU legislation, and maritime transport is liberalised at the international level.</p><p>The Political Declaration on the Framework for the Future Relationship between the EU and the UK Government is clear that connectivity in the maritime transport sector will be underpinned by the international legal framework. The future relationship should also facilitate cooperation on maritime safety and security.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 28/11/2018 15:49:33 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
