<p>The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme was closed at the end of 2013 when the
transitional employment restrictions applied to nationals of Bulgaria and Romania
were lifted. Until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of
the European Union and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force.
The agricultural sector will until then continue to be able to recruit EU-national
workers to meet their labour needs until the UK leaves the EU.</p><p>There are a number

At every step of these negotiations we will work to ensure the best possible outcome
for the British people.</p>
