DCMS is establishing a working group, including representatives across the creative and cultural sectors and other key government departments, to look at the issues facing those in these sectors when touring in the EU.

The group will work together to provide clarity regarding the steps that need to be taken by practitioners when touring in the EU, and explore what more could be done to help them work as confidently as possible in the EU.

The membership of the group will be announced shortly.
