If the UK leaves the EU without a deal export licences granted by the UK would continue to be valid for export from the UK. Licences granted by the UK would no longer be valid for export from other EU Member States, and licences granted by the other Member States would no longer be valid for export from the UK.

If the UK ratifies the draft Withdrawal Agreement licences granted under the EU export control regime would continue to be valid throughout the EU until the end of the Implementation Period.
