In addition, Gérald Darmanin, Minister of Public Action and Accounts, has announced the creation of a customs office in Calais which will help French authorities to improve their capacity to ensure fluidity and avoid unnecessary delays. However, as I stated in evidence to the Committee on Exiting the European Union, we will continue to monitor the situation in Calais and until any such border inspection post is operational, we will continue to develop our border plans to cover the full spectrum of scenarios.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2019 14:27:35 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

uin	206329
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>Negotiations between the UK and EU were ongoing throughout last year. These negotiations involved both officials and Ministers. They included discussions about setting out a legally operative backstop, as part of the Government’s commitment to avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, and as set out in the December 2017 Joint Report.</p><p>The outcome of those discussions is reflected in the draft Withdrawal Agreement laid before Parliament on 26 November. This guarantees that in the event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, while maintaining the economic and constitutional integrity of the UK.</p><p>As the Government has made clear, however, this would be an insurance policy that neither the UK nor the EU expects to use. We fully expect to bring into force our future relationship or alternative arrangements, which would guarantee no hard border on a permanent basis, by the end of the Implementation Period that the Withdrawal Agreement provides.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/01/2019 15:53:38 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

uin	205916
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The EU and the UK are committed to an arrangement with no tariffs between the UK and the EU. However, in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, goods traded between the UK and the EU will be subject to the same requirements as third country goods, including the payment of duty. For UK exports to the EU, the EU will require payment of customs duty at the rate under the EU’s Common Customs Tariff (CCT). Full details are available on the EU’s website (<a href="http://madb.europa.eu/madb/euTariffs.htm" target="_blank">http://madb.europa.eu/madb/euTariffs.htm</a>).</p><p>The current third country duty on most types of motor vehicles is 10%, therefore the tariffs would likely be £1,500 for (a) and £2,500 for (b). However, more information is needed on the vehicles in question to provide an exact answer. Furthermore, the EU may change these rates between now and March 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2019 15:11:17 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>As a matter of course, the Government does not publish legal advice.</p><p>The EEA Agreement only applies to the UK in its capacity as an EU Member State. The EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. 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. Alongside the Withdrawal Agreement, the EU undertook to notify its treaty partners that the UK is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of EU international agreements during the implementation period.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/01/2019 12:27:23 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
