<p>We will be seeking, wherever possible, to secure continuity with third countries
as we withdraw from the EU.</p><p> </p><p>During the implementation period, the existing
international agreements we are party to should continue to apply, including the EEA
Agreement, Swiss- EU bilaterals and other agreements which govern the crucial elements
of our trading and non-trading relationship with the EFTA states of Norway, Iceland,
Liechtenstein and Switzerland. We have said that people should be able to continue
to live, work and visit the UK during the implementation period but there will be
a registration system in preparation for our future immigration regime.</p><p> </p><p>Once
the implementation period ends, we will no longer participate in these agreements
and will need to put in place new arrangements with these countries. After we leave
we will put in place an immigration system which works in the best interests of the
whole of the UK. The UK will remain open for business; a country which recognises
the valuable contribution migrants make to our society and welcomes those with the
skills and expertise to make our nation better still.</p>
