We continue to engage with Georgia on replicating the effects of the existing EU trade agreement. Both the UK and Georgia remain committed to concluding a new partnership, trade & cooperation agreement as soon as possible. We are working together to ensure we are prepared for all possible scenarios. The Government will inform Parliament as soon as our discussions have concluded.

Continuity is our primary objective and securing this will be a strong foundation to build on for our trading relationship.
