Position papers on Brexit published by government

Position papers outlining how the UK will negotiate on important issues related to Brexit have been published.

The documents lay out the UK’s approach to issues related to Brexit and outline how the UK will take steps towards fostering a ‘new deep and special partnership’ with the EU after we leave.

The papers concern issues to do with: ongoing Union Judicial and Administrative Proceedings; nuclear materials and safeguard issues; and Privileges and Immunities.

Each of the papers will be presented to the Commission for discussion.

David Davis, Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, said: “These position papers mark the fair and transparent way that the UK is approaching Brexit negotiations ahead of the second round of talks next week — and demonstrate how deciding the shape of our future partnership with the EU is inextricably linked with our withdrawal talks.

“While we’re leaving the EU we are not leaving Europe, and we want to continue cooperating with our friends and neighbours on issues of mutual importance including nuclear safeguards.

“By ending the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union, UK courts will be supreme once more. Our sensible approach to pending cases means there would be a smooth and orderly transition to when the court no longer has jurisdiction in the UK.”
