On 19 March 2018, the UK and the EU reached agreement on the terms of an implementation period that will start on 30 March 2019 and last until 31 December 2020. Under the agreement, for the Common Agricultural Policy, the UK will not participate in Basic Payment Scheme year 2020, but will continue with Pillar 2 schemes until programme closure.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, the current fisheries rules will continue to apply during the implementation period. The government considers that agreement on an implementation period is necessary to give some sectors of the economy time to adjust and prepare for the UK's departure from the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
We will shortly publish a White Paper on the future of fisheries policy that will set out our plans to become an independent coastal state in control of our own Exclusive Economic Zone once the implantation period has ended.<\/p>
