As set out clearly in the Government\u2019s (Cm 9464) policy paper, free movement rights will come to an end after the UK leaves the EU and therefore cannot be carried forward, as an EU legal right, into the post-exit UK legal regime.<\/p>

Therefore all EU citizens (and their families) in the UK, regardless of when they arrived, will need to obtain an immigration status in UK law. As set out in the policy paper, EU citizens will be given adequate time to obtain this documentation through a \u2018grace period\u2019 of up to two years.<\/p>

<\/p>

While EU documentation certifying permanent residence will not be automatically replaced with a grant of settled status, we will seek to make the application process for settled status as streamlined as possible for those who already hold such documents.

If a capital investment project involves both the private sector and the public sector, an assessment is required to determine the level of government intervention in a project. This will also determine whether government is bearing a majority of the risks and rewards associated with the project and therefore incurring public expenditure for the capital investment of the project. The assessment would be made by the independent Office for National Statistics (ONS) using the national accounts conceptual framework, the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (ESA10)[1]<\/sup><\/sup> enforceable EU Regulation No. 549/2013 and associated guidance in the Manual on Government Deficit and Debt[2]<\/sup><\/sup> and a guide to the Statistical Treatment of PPPs[3]<\/sup><\/sup> published by Eurostat.<\/p>
