An association agreement between the EU and the UK could provide an appropriate framework for the future relationship, says a draft resolution endorsed by the Conference of Presidents (EP President and political group leaders). This relationship could be based on four pillars: trade and economic relations, foreign policy, internal security and thematic cooperation, for example on cross-border research and innovation projects. MEPs insist that it should include a consistent governance framework, with a robust dispute resolution mechanism.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The motion, prepared by the European Parliament\u2019s\u00a0Brexit Steering Group<\/a>, stresses that the EU has binding common rules, common institutions and common supervisory, enforcement and adjudicatory mechanisms, to make it clear that even closely-aligned third countries with identical legislation cannot enjoy similar rights, benefits or market access to those of EU member states.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any framework for the future relationship would need to respect the integrity of the internal market, customs union and four freedoms, without allowing for a sector-by-sector approach. It should preserve the EU\u2019s autonomy of decision and legal order, including the role of the ECJ.\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The draft resolution welcomes the Commission\u2019s 28 February draft of the Withdrawal agreement and expresses support for the transitional arrangements proposed.\u00a0It also reiterates the importance given to securing equal and fair treatment for EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next steps\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Members will debate the draft text with EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Chief negotiator Michel\u00a0Barnier\u00a0on Tuesday 13 March. The resolution as voted will set out Parliament\u2019s input ahead of EU heads of state or government summit, which is expected to approve the Council\u2019s guidelines for negotiations on the UK\u2019s future relationship with the EU. Any withdrawal agreement and future association agreement will need to win the approval of the European Parliament.\u202f\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
