As we leave the EU, the Government intends to maintain the effects of existing EU free trade agreements and other EU preferential arrangements. These are listed on the European Commission’s website at http://ec.europa.eu/world/agreements/default.home.do and include agreements with Switzerland, Turkey and Norway.

We are discussing with our trading partners how continuity is best achieved.
