	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The UK has made clear both in public and during discussions with the EEA EFTA states that we will be leaving the European Economic Area (EEA). Continued participation in the EEA Agreement beyond the implementation period would not pass the tests that the Prime Minister set out for our future economic partnership with the EU in that it would not deliver control of our borders or our laws.</p><p>In the absence of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU in March 2019.</p><p>However, at the March European Council we agreed with the EU that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements for the duration of the implementation period; this includes the EEA Agreement.</p><p>Once the implementation period ends, the EEA Agreement will no longer apply to the UK. We will seek to put in place new arrangements with these countries for the end of the implementation period.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/07/2018 12:07:12 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The report shows a misunderstanding of the Northern Ireland and Ireland context and proposes a fundamental redesign of the Common Travel Area (CTA), which neither the UK, Ireland or the EU have ever envisaged.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst there are some parallels with the work we are developing on the wider UK-EU border model that would apply, for example, to the border between Dover and Calais, this report proposes a form of hard border, albeit an efficiently managed one, for the Northern Ireland-Ireland land border and is therefore fundamentally inconsistent with Government policy and the commitments we have made.</p><p> </p><p>It is unacceptable to suggest any solutions which would require physical infrastructure at the border. Both the UK Government and Irish Government have explicitly ruled this out, as the removal of physical checks and security installations has been a key dividend of the peace process.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 16/07/2018 12:07:44 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
