This means that common rules will remain in place until the end of the period, allowing businesses to trade on the same terms as now up until the end of 2020.</p><p>It takes on average two years for significant new rules to pass through the EU, and it is therefore very unlikely that significant legislation will pass during the implementation period.</p><p> </p> more like this

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>

answer text <p>The agreed Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, in the Withdrawal Agreement, 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, there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.</p><p>The Prime Minister was always clear that there could be no customs border down the Irish Sea, which would see a division of the customs territory of the UK. As a result, the UK proposed a UK-wide customs arrangement, which has been secured in the Withdrawal Agreement. In order for the UK-wide customs arrangement to function, it requires the UK to align with the relevant aspects of the Common Commercial Policy. In this scenario, the UK would be able to negotiate, ratify and sign trade deals, and to bring into effect those elements that do not affect the Protocol - just as the government’s technical paper on this set out in June this year. Both sides have been clear that the backstop is an insurance policy which we do not expect to use, and if needed, is explicitly temporary.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Article 129 of the Withdrawal Agreement sets out how the UK and EU should cooperate under the European Union’s External Action, including in international organisations, during the Implementation Period. It applies to all international organisations where the UK and EU are actors. This includes the UN and its agencies, and other international bodies, such as OECD and OSCE. The UK will remain an active and effective international player. We will continue to have a strong independent voice in the UN as a P5 member, and across a range of other UN bodies, agencies and in other international fora. The Withdrawal Agreement will not change this position.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Under Article 143 (formerly Article 136) of the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will stand behind a share of EU contingent liabilities related to financial operations up to withdrawal. These are reported in the Consolidated Fund accounts as having a remote probability of crystallising. The UK will receive a share of the pre-paid guarantee funds and reflows from these operations and, in the event of crystallisation, the UK will receive its share of any amounts recovered by the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Under Article 147 (formerly Article 140), the UK will stand behind a share of EU contingent liabilities arising from legal cases related to the budget and linked policies and programmes up to the end of 2020.

answer text <p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement, if there is a dispute which involves a question on the interpretation of EU law, the panel will not decide on that question, but request the CJEU to give a ruling on it. It will, however, still be for the arbitration panel to rule on the dispute itself.</p><p>Under the EU Treaties, the CJEU is the only body which can deliver interpretations of EU law which bind the EU and its Member States. If the arbitration panel was empowered to interpret EU law and bind the EU and its Member States to this interpretation, it would be considered unlawful by the CJEU and prevent the EU from being able to sign up to such a provision.</p><p> </p> more like this
