answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2019 answer text <p>DExEU Ministers and officials have regular ongoing engagement with the automotive sector, including world-leading manufacturers and representative bodies such as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).</p><p>The Secretary of State for Exiting the EU met with Honda in June. Separately, Ministers met with McLaren and Nissan Europe in June and July. Since 1st January 2019 DExEU Permanent Secretaries have met SMMT on four occasions (with the most recent meeting on September 20th).</p><p>HMG is committed to ensuring that the UK continues to be one of the most competitive locations in the world for automotive manufacturing after we leave the European Union. Adapting to new regulatory requirements takes time, so the Government will provide continuity in goods regulation for a temporary period after exit day. If UK manufacturers, distributors and importers continue to meet EU requirements, their goods can still be placed on the EU market. Furthermore, tariffs will not apply to car parts.. The Government will continue to apply zero tariffs to steel imports, ensuring the continuation of supply of a key material for UK production, especially in automotive. Tariffs will, however, apply to finished vehicles.</p><p>The Government has published technical notices on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/placing-manufactured-goods-on-the-uk-market-if-theres-no-brexit-deal#non-harmonised-goods" target="_blank">Placing manufactured goods on the UK market after Brexit</a> and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/placing-manufactured-goods-on-the-eu-internal-market-if-theres-no-deal" target="_blank">Placing manufactured goods on the EU market after Brexit</a>, as well as making dedicated, tailored advice available for the automotive sector: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-automotive-sector-and-preparing-for-eu-exit" target="_blank">The automotive sector and preparing for Brexit</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 03/10/2019 14:36:52 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that the best way to protect citizens’ rights is to secure a deal with the EU.</p><p>In the event of no deal, the UK has made a unilateral offer to protect the rights of EU citizens residing in the UK by exit day, and this includes continued entitlement to healthcare. Where possible, we have also made unilateral commitments to protect the rights of UK nationals living in the EU.</p><p>We welcome that all Member States have now put in place measures to protect the residency rights of UK nationals living in the EU by exit day but there are still areas where we hope that Member States will improve their offers to UK nationals, in line with what we have offered. We will continue to press for reciprocity and ask Member States to communicate their detailed plans as soon as possible.</p><p>Reciprocal healthcare arrangements cannot be fully protected unilaterally by the UK. That is why we are seeking arrangements at EU level or with Member States to apply the current social security coordination framework, including reciprocal healthcare, in full until the end of 2020.</p><p>To support UK-insured individuals living in the EU before exit day, the UK Government will also, for six-months after exit day (from 1 November 2019 until 30 April 2020), reimburse healthcare costs or pay providers directly where necessary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 02/10/2019 11:28:26 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2019 answer text <p>Both the UK and the EU want to ensure that European manufacturing continues to thrive in an increasingly competitive global market. Many manufactured goods sectors, such as chemicals, aerospace goods, human and veterinary medicines and medical devices, are subject to common rules across the EU. We recognise that adapting to new regulatory requirements takes time, so the Government will provide continuity in goods regulation for a temporary period after exit day.</p><p>This does not mean that everything will stay the same, but the approach is intended to ensure that in many cases the regulatory requirements for placing a manufactured good on the UK market will not significantly change from those which currently apply. As a result, most goods that meet EU regulatory requirements will continue to be recognised as valid for sale on the UK market.</p><p>This approach will provide stability in the immediate short term for those businesses who place goods on the UK market, as well as for consumers. It is intended only to apply for a time-limited period after October 31. At the same time the Government is establishing domestic frameworks which mean the UK will have the flexibility to set different rules where it would benefit UK businesses and consumers.</p><p><strong></strong><br><br></p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 03/10/2019 11:55:53 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
