<p>Our legal position is that Article 127 does not need to be triggered for the European
Economic Area (EEA) Agreement to cease to have effect. This is because the EEA Agreement
only applies to the UK in its capacity as an EU Member State. Therefore, in the absence
of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the
UK when we leave the EU.</p><p>We have regular discussions with Norway, Iceland and
Liechtenstein on all aspects of our withdrawal from the EU. The Government informed
Parliament on the 20th December about the agreement reached with Norway, Iceland and
Liechtenstein to resolve the issues arising with those countries as a result of the
UK’s departure from the EU.</p><p> </p>
