The UK has seventeen reciprocal social security agreements with EU Member States which are in use between some or all of the Crown Dependencies and the relevant EU country which provide for reciprocal uprating of state pension. The EU countries are: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. In the event the UK leaves without a withdrawal agreement, the UK will keep the role of pre-existing Reciprocal Agreements with individual Member States under review. Whether these come back into force will be subject to discussion and agreement between the UK and the relevant EU Member State.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are ten EU countries where there is no reciprocal social security agreement in place. Those countries are: Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK government has taken the necessary steps to protect the rights of citizens through legislation and set out the measures it will take in a no deal scenario.

St Helena\u2019s most famous resident, Jonathan the tortoise, is looked after by the island vet who ensures a high-standard of care to the world\u2019s oldest terrestrial animal. After much deliberation on the island, the vet decided removing Jonathan\u2019s cataracts was too high-risk a procedure. I reassure the noble Lord that despite being over 187 years old, Jonathan continues to lead an active life. The climate on St Helena, while perfect for diving and mountain walking, is not conducive to breeding this species of tortoise. The increasing number of flights to St Helena from South Africa is providing a welcome boost to St Helena\u2019s tourism industry, and will allow even more people to meet this much loved member of the St Helena community.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-31T14:27:06.753Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "St Helena: Tortoises"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to authorising the removal of cataracts under local anaesthetic for Jonathan, the giant tortoise living in the grounds of the residence of the Governor of St Helena; and what assessment they have made of the impact that carrying out such an operation would have on (1) the island\u2019s wider giant tortoise population, and (2) tourism to the island.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/248", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Jones of Cheltenham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Jones of Cheltenham"} ], "uin" : "HL13067"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045446", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1045446/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Environment Agency (EA) undertakes a wide range of monitoring in the River Thames, including some exploratory monitoring for cocaine, to manage water quality and inform future regulatory approaches where appropriate.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The EA is working with Thames Water and other water companies to undertake extensive investigations to assess a wide range of chemicals entering rivers through wastewater treatment works. The investigations have shown that wastewater treatment works significantly reduce the concentrations of many chemicals before they are discharged to rivers. Although cocaine is not part of these investigations, it is likely that it will be similarly affected by wastewater treatment.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Thames Tideway Tunnel, which is currently in construction and will be operational by 2023, will significantly reduce the frequency and volume of discharges of storm sewage and improve water quality in the tidal Thames. This will reduce levels of associated chemicals in the tidal river.<\/p>

My Department continues to engage with businesses and representatives to understand their priorities and issues as we leave the European Union.<\/p>

Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains our top priority and is the best way of avoiding a no deal scenario. However, until MPs have voted to approve the deal and with 12 weeks until we leave the EU, we will continue to prepare for every eventuality. That is the responsible thing to do.<\/p>

We are clear that the UK will aim to minimise disruption for businesses in the short term, in a no deal scenario.<\/p>

We\u2019ve published 106 technical notices, which provide important information for businesses and, following Cabinet\u2019s agreement on Tuesday, will provide further detailed guidance for businesses to follow over the coming weeks.<\/p>

We recognise the economic and cultural importance of UK publishing and literature, with the UK\u2019s vibrant book and journal industry worth £4.4bn. The UK produces an extraordinary level of talent in literature and publishing and the decision to leave the EU will not change that.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK exports books to every region in the world, with exports of physical and digital books worth £1.42bn. .
