Hi Cabinet – so next week you finally get let into #brexit decision-making. So here is your essential pre-read from @instituteforgov.
@instituteforgov First up, our report on frictionless trade – why its impossible to deliver the “exact same benefits” of the Single market and the Customs Union outside them – and why it matters to businesses with cross-border supply chains. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/f…
@instituteforgov Second our report on some of the choices on offer for Trade after Brexit. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/t… Note the EU has been very unenthusiastic on the sort of “managed divergence” the PM hinted at in Florence.
@instituteforgov Also explains why the EU is not going to agree to the mutual recognition model which has found favour with many of your colleagues.
@instituteforgov If you prefer to watch, here is a #Brexit Dragon’s Den we organised earlier in the year. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/events/pitchin…
@instituteforgov If we get an agreement, we will need to decide how it is overseen and how we resolve disputes. We set out the options here. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/d…
@instituteforgov And some options may entail a continuing role for the ECJ. We looked at the UK’s experience with the ECJ here instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/w…
@instituteforgov The PM has suggested a continuing relationship with some key EU agencies. We explain what those are – and how much influence the EU lets third countries have (that’s us after #brexit) instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/eu-…
@instituteforgov You#’ll also need to work out how this squares with the commitments the Government made in December on Ireland – we look at the options for the Irish backstop instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/…
@instituteforgov Whatever you decide, you have to think through timelines and implementation issues. The Border is a crunch point. We explain the complexities. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/i…
@instituteforgov And while you have been getting on with your departmental day job, other departments have been juggling multiple scenarios for preparing Brexit. Our recent report concluded secrecy and indecision means Whitehall is far from ready. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/…
@instituteforgov If you still need more info on #brexit, we have a huge range of “brexplainers” – on fish, agriculture to what we signed up to on the divorce bill and what an association agreement means. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers?fie…
@instituteforgov We’re looking forward to finding out what you decide. But whatever you decide, remember that it needs to be negotiated with the EU27 – and #brexit is falling down their priority list. instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/n…
