We are talking to our EU counterparts as part of ongoing exit negotiations with a view to achieving the deep and special relationship the UK wishes to have with the EU post-exit.

The effect of leaving the EU for the audio-visual sector will depend on exit negotiations. We are preparing for a range of possible outcomes from the UK's negotiations with the EU.
