The United Kingdom government issued on the 21 August 2017 the third of a series of papers putting forward its negotiating position on the UK’s future partnership with the European Union (EU). It was published in the context of the negotiations being undertaken with the EU for the UK to leave the union following the Brexit referendum vote of June 2016. This paper outlined the UK's position on the ongoing confidentiality obligations and access to documents. This paper stated that the UK recognised the importance of continuing to respect obligations of confidentiality and to protect information exchanged while it was a Member State, and that arrangements agreed with respect to confidentiality and the handling of information produced while it was a Member State should be reciprocal, affording an equivalent level of protection to the UK and the EU after the UK’s withdrawal. These protections should be equivalent to those set out in the existing regimes. |
