The Secretary of State for Exiting the EU met with the Police Service of Northern Ireland on 2 November, and was accompanied by the Deputy Chief Constable on a visit to the border. The former Secretary of State also met with the former Assistant Chief Constable with the Police Service of NI, who accompanied him on a tour of the border, to see first hand the concerns of citizens and businesses relating to the border.<\/p>

I have been receiving regular updates from officials on the progress of the border issue and remain committed to agreeing a mutually advantageous deal with the EU. It is a key part of these negotiations that we deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.<\/p>

Citizens\u2019 rights has been our first priority since the very beginning of this process.<\/p>

In December 2017, we reached a fair and reciprocal agreement with the EU on the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, and this is set out in the draft Withdrawal Agreement. The agreement confirms that any UK national resident in the EU by December 2020 will be able to stay in their Member State of residence and will provide citizens more certainty about healthcare, pensions and other benefits.<\/p>

While the Government is preparing for a range of scenarios, including the unlikely event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal, the Prime Minister stated to EU citizens on 21 September \u201cI want to be clear with you that even in the event of no deal your rights will be protected. You are our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues. We want you to stay.\u201d<\/p>

We welcome the reassurances from a number of Member States that they will protect the interests of UK nationals living in their Member States in the unlikely event of a \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario and are urging the remaining Member States counterparts to do the same.<\/p>

As the Prime Minister has made clear, we expect the implementation period to end, as planned, in December 2020.<\/p>

The idea to create an option - and it would only be an option - to extend the implementation period for a matter of months would simply provide an "insurance policy" in the extremely unlikely event that no agreement on our future partnership is agreed by December 2020.<\/p>

It should be noted that during this period we will be free to negotiate, sign and ratify new trade agreements with third countries.<\/p>

The original proposals put forward by the EU are ones we cannot accept. It would mean creating a customs border down the Irish sea and breaking the integrity of the UK. The proposals we have put forward for our future economic relationship would allow both sides to meet our commitments to the people of Northern Ireland in full.

The Government's legal position on this question remains unchanged: Article 127 does not need to be triggered for the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement to cease to have effect. In the absence of any further action, the EEA Agreement will no longer operate in respect of the UK when we leave the EU. We do not consider, therefore, that providing written notice to the other Contracting Parties under Article 127 of the EEA Agreement is necessary.<\/p>

We agreed with the EU at March European Council that they will notify third parties that the UK will be treated as a Member State for the purposes of international agreements during the implementation period. This includes the EEA Agreement.<\/p>
