	tabling member printed	Lord Smith of Finsbury
	uin	HL10691
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2018 answer text <p>We firmly believe it is in the interests of both the EU and UK to strike a deal and we remain confident that we will agree a mutually advantageous deal with the EU. In this scenario the UK’s market access to the EU will continue on current terms during a time limited implementation period, including UK practitioners’ rights of representation. However, in the absence of any withdrawal agreement with the EU, arrangements for representation before the EU bodies and in EU Member States will be a matter for the EU and its Member States. Rights of representation before the European Patent Office will not be affected by EU exit, as this is not an EU body.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 26/10/2018 13:53:13 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
