answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The agreed Protocol guarantees that even in the unlikely event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, the UK will have a sovereign choice whether to bring into effect a temporary single UK-EU customs territory or to extend the implementation period for a short period of time until the new economic relationship is in place.</p><p>The single customs territory option replaces the EU’s proposal for a Northern Ireland-only customs ‘backstop to the backstop’ with a UK-wide solution. It would guarantee no tariffs, quotas or rules of origin between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, or between the UK and the EU. As such, the agreed position safeguards the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between the Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now.</p><p>Both the UK and the EU are committed to developing alternative arrangements to replace the backstop.The Political Declaration is clear that this includes looking at how facilitative arrangements and technologies can avoid a hard border. The UK and EU are legally obliged to use their best endeavours to conclude such an agreement by 31 December 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/12/2018 16:25:56 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to continue to include Gibraltar in (1) the Article 3 definition section, and (2) Article 184 of the future framework section, of the EU Withdrawal Agreement.

uin	HL11663
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Article 3 of the Withdrawal Agreement published on 26 November clearly states that Gibraltar is covered to the extent that Union Law applied to it before. Article 184, which records the UK and the EU’s commitment to negotiate in good faith and conclude agreements envisaged by the Political Declaration on their future relationship within a certain time frame, imposes no obligations regarding the territorial scope of future agreements. This is the EU and the UK’s shared interpretation. The government has also been clear that the UK will negotiate future agreements on behalf of all territories for whose external relations it is responsible.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/12/2018 13:57:53 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
