<p>The Government is working closely with the leaders of all the Overseas Territories
(OTs) on matters relating to Brexit. After we leave the European Union, the UK will
negotiate the future relationship with the EU on behalf of the whole UK family, including
the OTs.</p><p>The Government has been addressing concerns over funding and citizens'
rights for all OTs. Most non-European OTs, save the Falkland Islands and Tristan da
Cunha, have little substantive trade with the EU.</p><p>Brexit represents an opportunity
to pursue the OTs' interests in the UK's new, independent trade policy, including
seeking improved market access around the world for OT-originating goods and services.
Officials are in discussions with OT Representatives about their specific interests
in particular markets.</p>
