<p>The Government is committed to ensuring continuity for the effects of the UK’s
existing free trade agreements, including preferential tariff terms, as we leave the
EU. To achieve this, the UK will enter into new agreements with partner countries
in place of the EU free trade agreements in which we participate as a Member State,
in line with WTO rules on Regional Trade Agreements. Necessary changes will be made
to ensure that these preferential trading arrangements can continue to operate in
a bilateral context. Tariff terms vary from treaty to treaty and we intend to replicate
the effect of those already agreed with the EU, as far as possible.</p>
