Details
The white paper sets out policy options to protect the flow of goods and services across the UK after the end of Transition Period.
To secure this, the government proposes to enshrine in law 2 principles:
- the principle of mutual recognition
- the principle of non-discrimination
Mutual recognition means that the rules governing the production and sale of goods and services in one part of the UK are recognised in the other parts of the UK, and should present no barrier to the flow of goods and services between different regulatory systems.
Non-discrimination means that it is not possible for one regulatory regime to introduce rules that discriminate specifically against goods and services from another.
Consultation on proposals
We are consulting on the options set out in the white paper. Please respond by close of play on 13 August.
