Many manufactured goods sectors, such as chemicals, aerospace goods, human and veterinary medicines and medical devices, are subject to common rules across the EU. We recognise that adapting to new regulatory requirements takes time, so the Government will provide continuity in goods regulation for a temporary period after exit day.</p><p>This does not mean that everything will stay the same, but the approach is intended to ensure that in many cases the regulatory requirements for placing a manufactured good on the UK market will not significantly change from those which currently apply. As a result, most goods that meet EU regulatory requirements will continue to be recognised as valid for sale on the UK market.</p><p>This approach will provide stability in the immediate short term for those businesses who place goods on the UK market, as well as for consumers. It is intended only to apply for a time-limited period after October 31. At the same time the Government is establishing domestic frameworks which mean the UK will have the flexibility to set different rules where it would benefit UK businesses and consumers.</p><p><strong></strong><br><br></p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 03/10/2019 11:55:53 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
