answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>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. The EU will notify third parties of this approach.</p><p><strong><br></strong>Discussions we have had with our international partners suggest a willingness to find a pragmatic means of ensuring continuity of international agreements in a way that minimises the impact of the UK’s departure on them. A number of third countries have issued statements in support of this approach.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 11/06/2018 16:05:20 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2018 answer text <p>As we move into the second phase of negotiations we are confident of agreeing a bold and ambitious Free Trade Agreement with the EU that is of greater scope than any such existing agreement. The Government will introduce further legislation where it is needed to implement the terms of the future relationship into UK law.</p><p> </p><p>Leaving the EU also offers us an opportunity to forge a new role for ourselves in the world: to negotiate our own trade agreements and to be a positive and powerful force for free trade. However, we would not bring into effect any new arrangements with third countries which were not consistent with the terms of our agreement with the EU.</p><p> </p><p>We have been considering what we will need to put in place to ensure that the process of negotiating and implementing new trade deals is transparent, efficient and effective. We want to make provision for a legislative framework that will enable future trade agreements with partner countries to move quickly from signing to implementation and then to ratification, whilst respecting due process in Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 11/01/2018 12:29:26 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
