As set out in the Political Declaration, both the UK and EU have committed to reaching an agreement on our future relationship by the end of 2020. This is in everyone\u2019s interests.<\/p>
As set out in the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, we will not be extending the Implementation Period beyond 2020.<\/p>
<\/strong> We firmly believe it is in the interests of both the EU and the UK to strike a deal. That remains the goal on both sides and we are confident that this will be achieved. But it is the job of a responsible Government to prepare for all scenarios, including the unlikely event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal.<\/p> We have already carried out very significant \u2018no deal\u2019 preparations and on 23 August we published 25 technical notices, intended to inform people, businesses and stakeholders about steps they may need to take in the event of a \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario. These were the first in a series of updates which we will be publishing over the coming weeks.<\/p> This does not reflect an increased likelihood of \u2018no deal;\u2019 an acceleration at this point was long-planned to ensure plans are in place by March 2019 in the unlikely scenario they are needed. We are confident that we will deliver a good deal that Parliament will want to support and when we bring forward the vote on the final deal we will ensure that Parliament is presented with the appropriate analysis.<\/p>"}
