	answer	answer answer text <p>Leaving the single market will have implications for market access and some UK and EU service suppliers will not enjoy the same rights as they do today. The Political Declaration outlines the EU and the UK’s commitment to, among other things, ambitious arrangements for services and investment that go well beyond WTO commitments, and build on recent EU FTAs.</p><p> </p><p>Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. Alongside this the Government is also accelerating no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality. The technical notice <em>providing services including those of a qualified professional if there's no Brexit deal</em>, published by the Government on 12 October 2018 sets out the implications of a no deal exit for EEA legal professionals and business owners in the UK. An impact assessment was published alongside the SI implementing these changes.</p><p> </p><p>As outlined in the EU Commission technical notice published on 21 June 2018, in a no deal scenario the rights of practice, ownership and establishment of UK nationals and businesses in the EU will be governed by the national policies and rules of individual member states.</p> question first answered 07/02/2019 17:32:36

	answer	answer answer text <p>On 28th November 2018 the Government laid before Parliament the document entitled, “EU Exit: Long-term economic analysis” which was intended to facilitate parliamentary scrutiny ahead of the Meaningful Vote on the final deal. The purpose of this analysis was to illustrate high level impacts on the UK from different EU Exit scenarios. It included associated costs for five broad groups, across the economy as well as for eleven corresponding sectors which together cover the majority of the UK economy and all traded goods and services:</p><p> </p><p>○ Manufactured Goods (including Iron &amp; Steel as well as Motor vehicles and parts);</p><p>○ Agri-food;</p><p>○ Services (Non-Financial and Non-Networks);</p><p>○ Financial Services;</p><p>○ Networks;</p><p> </p><p>The sector of “motor vehicles and parts”, being a sub – sector of the wider manufactured goods group, was assessed as one of the 11 corresponding sectors; and therefore, results of the impact of different EU-exit scenarios on motor vehicles have been published.</p><p>The macroeconomic modelling tools used for this analysis do not allow for disaggregation of results at individual sector level.</p><p> </p><p>Extensive engagement has also taken place and is continuing between Government and the steel and automotive industries, to better understand the implications of different EU – exit scenarios on the sectors.</p> question first answered 11/02/2019 15:17:58
