<p>As the Prime Minister has set out, we are seeking a strictly time-limited implementation
period as part of our withdrawal negotiations, to provide certainty and stability
for both people and businesses - in the UK and in the EU - to adjust to the new arrangements

that we are not going to exclude Gibraltar from our negotiations for either the implementation
period or the future agreement. It is the UK’s consistent position that our negotiations
extend to include UK Overseas Territories, including Gibraltar, in those areas where
their association with the EU is affected.</p>
