As per the outcome of the third round of negotiations between the UK and the EU, the UK have published the legal texts of their draft negotiation documents. As outlined below, “The Future Relationship with the EU” document lays out a suite of proposals for the UK’s negotiations with the EU. The draft legal texts are the legal articulation of this approach and have formed the basis of discussions with the EU.

The main element of the UK’s approach is the comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, or FTA, covering substantially all trade. They have also proposed a separate agreement on fisheries, an agreement on law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and agreements in technical areas covering aviation, energy and civil nuclear cooperation. The document suite also includes correspondence from UK chief negotiator, David Frost, to his EU counterpart, Michel Barnier.
