<p>The Government's legal position on this question remains unchanged: Article 127
does not need to be triggered for the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement to cease
to have effect. In the absence of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer
operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. We do not consider, therefore,
that providing written notice to the other Contracting Parties under Article 127 of
the EEA Agreement is necessary.</p><p>We agreed with the EU at March European Council
that they will notify third parties that the UK will be treated as a Member State
for the purposes of international agreements during the implementation period. This
includes the EEA Agreement.</p><p> </p>
