Scrutiny of international agreements; treaties considered on 14 May 2019 Contents
Summary
This is the European Union Committee’s eleventh report on Brexit-related treaties, or international agreements, laid before Parliament in accordance with section 20 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 (the CRAG Act).
This report addresses one agreement which we considered at our meeting on 14 May.
- Agreement between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway on Trade in Goods [CP 89]
We draw special attention to this agreement on two grounds: that it is politically important and gives rise to issues of public policy that the House may wish to debate prior to ratification; and that it differs significantly from the precursor agreements to which the UK is party as an EU member state.
