Background

The UK and EU negotiating teams had jointly published in March 2018 the structure for discussions on the future framework for EU-UK relations, reflecting the breadth of the partnership both sides wanted to build.

This could be divided into four broad sections:

+ Basis for cooperation
+ Economic partnership
+ Security partnership
+ Cross-cutting and standalone

Economic partnership

The economic partnership would cover the following areas: goods, agricultural, food and fisheries products, customs, services and investment, financial services, digital and broadcasting, transport, energy, horizontal measures and mobility framework. This presentation published in May 2018 by the United Kingdom: Department for Exiting the European Union was part of a series produced by the UK negotiating team for discussion with the EU, in order to inform the development of the future framework.

It explained the UK Government's vision for the future UK-EU Economic Partnership. An economic partnership, that went beyond any existing Free Trade Agreement (FTA), covering more sectors and with deeper cooperation.

The future framework would set out the terms of the future EU-UK relationship, to be translated into legally binding agreements after the UK’s withdrawal.

The UK and the EU would conclude the future framework alongside the Withdrawal Agreement later in 2018.
