Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether it is their understanding that nuclear co-operation agreements concluded between Euratom and third countries would continue to apply to the UK for the duration of any post-Brexit implementation period.

The Government believes a strictly time-limited implementation period is in the interests of both the UK and the EU. The Government is proposing that any implementation period should be based on the existing structure of EU rules and regulations, and is assessing the full range of options for an implementation period including any legal or practical issues. These considerations include the scope of any period and the impact on issues such as agreements, both existing and post exit, with third countries.
