answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>The UK has historic agreements with all EU Member States except for Malta (for reasons of geography). It is our view that, in the absence of an EU wide agreement, 21 historic bilateral agreements would revive in full on exit as they have not been expressly terminated. Agreements with Ireland, Denmark, Spain, Belgium and Italy have terminated, but offer a good basis for future discussions.</p><p> </p><p>Some of the revived agreements may need some amendments to make them fit for purpose, which can be done by an exchange of notes between the Parties.</p><p> </p><p>For those agreements that are no longer in force, we would expect to conclude new treaties in the absence of EU-wide arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 30/09/2019 16:22:45 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
