<p>The UK will seek to maintain the relationships and cooperation it currently enjoys
with non-EU partners and international organisations as it exits the EU. Our priority
is to ensure continuity, and we recognise the need to promote stability for business
and individuals.</p><p> </p><p>To fully convert EU law into UK law and provide maximum
certainty and continuity as we leave the EU, the EU (Withdrawal) Bill will, subject
to Parliamentary approval, incorporate into UK law the directly effective rights and
obligations in the EU treaties and related international agreements which are already
available in our domestic law. The Bill also gives ministers a temporary power to
make regulations to prevent or remedy breaches of international obligations arising
from withdrawal.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Department for Exiting the European
Union, in conjunction with other Departments, is working with our international partners
to identify the full range of international agreements that will be impacted by our
exit from the EU, including mixed agreements. The Government’s EU exit legislative
programme is designed to cater for the full range of negotiated and non-negotiated
outcomes, including for international agreements.</p>
