Ministers.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK and the EU agreed in March, in the
draft Withdrawal Agreement that, in most areas, EU law will continue to have the same
legal effects in the UK as now during the implementation period, in order to provide
continuity and certainty to businesses and citizens.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
Government has been clear that the Withdrawal Agreement & Implementation Bill
will be used to implement the major elements of the Withdrawal Agreement in domestic
law.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In order to ensure that the UK’s interests are
protected during the implementation period, a Joint Committee will be established
to provide the UK with a means to raise concerns regarding new laws, which we consider
might be harmful to our interests. We have also agreed that the whole Withdrawal Agreement
will be subject to an article of good faith, ensuring that both sides support each
other in delivering the agreement.</p>
