Asked by: Stephen Hammond (Conservative - Wimbledon)
Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many international treaties with third parties the UK is party to as a result of its membership of the EU; and how many of those treaties the UK plans to replicate after the UK leaves the EU.
Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
The EU Treaties Office Database lists Treaties relating to our EU membership: http://ec.europa.eu/world/agreements/default.home.do.
Not all of these require action as the UK leaves the EU. We are seeking to replicate the effects of our international treaties, as far as possible and where relevant, and we are engaging closely with third parties to deliver this continuity as we leave the EU.
