The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has not introduced any regulations as a result of EU legislation since 23 June 2016 and we do not expect to introduce any regulations as a result of EU legislation in 2018.

In 2019, we also do not expect to introduce any regulations as a result of EU legislation. However, the exact number is subject to ongoing negotiations.
