answer text <p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement Article 152, paragraph 3 confirms that the Overseas Territories (OTs) shall benefit from EDF11 until its closure. Based on current patterns of expenditure, we reliably estimate they will continue to have access to EDF 11 until 2024 and possibly beyond.</p><p>After we leave the EU, we will want to take our own decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding.
