Information provided by the EEAS shows that as of 14 November 2018 there were a total of 115 UK nationals working for the EEAS. Of these, 33 were seconded from the UK civil service.<\/p>
The EEAS has informed staff of UK nationality that all HMG officials seconded to the EEAS will be required to end their role by 29 March 2019. Permanent Officials employed by the EEAS with UK nationality will be able to continue their employment in Headquarters in Brussels, but they will no longer be able to serve in EU Delegations overseas.<\/p>
As set out in the Government\u2019s White Paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, we hope to agree a programme for the reciprocal exchange of expertise and skills as part of the future UK-EU partnership. Our priority is agreeing mutually beneficial arrangements for the longer term, in line with our overall future partnership with the EU.<\/p>

As the Prime Minister has made clear, we are committed to securing a deal that works for the whole of the United Kingdom including Welsh-speaking communities. The UK Government has been working closely and effectively with the Welsh Government, the Secretary of State for Wales and Welsh stakeholders on EU Exit to ensure this.<\/p>
This includes, for example, the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU Negotiations and the Ministerial Forum on EU Negotiations. The Ministerial Forum recently discussed the UK Government\u2019s proposals for continued cooperation with the EU on culture and education as well as options for continued participation in successor schemes to EU funding programmes, such as Creative Europe, which I understand has played a role in supporting a number of Welsh language projects. We welcomed the Welsh Ministers\u2019 contributions to this discussion.<\/p>
While the Welsh language is a devolved matter, we fully recognise its importance as part of the United Kingdom\u2019s rich culture and will continue working with the Welsh Government, the Secretary of State for Wales and Welsh stakeholders to ensure their concerns on this matter are taken into account as we leave the EU.<\/p>

We understand the concerns of UK citizens in regards to their rights to own boats in EU member states after the UK leaves the EU.<\/p>
To ensure that citizens and businesses in the UK and across the EU can plan for life after our withdrawal with confidence, we have agreed an implementation period that will last for 21 months beginning on exit day until 31 December 2020. During the implementation period, UK nationals will be able to continue to own boats in the EU as they do now.<\/p>
Looking beyond the implementation period, the exact rights of UK citizens to own boats within an EU member state are a matter for future negotiation.<\/p>
