In addition, due to the UK's ongoing participation in the Council of Europe's Convention on Transfrontier Television (CTT), which will not be affected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, works originating in the UK will continue to be classed as European Works, which is extremely important to industry.</p><p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of continuing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. This analysis will help define our future partnership with the EU, and informs our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.<br><br>Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would reveal our negotiating position and so the Government will not provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work.</p><p>The Government has confirmed that when we bring forward the vote on the final deal, we will ensure that Parliament is presented with the appropriate analysis to make an informed decision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/09/2018 08:59:07 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
