UK Publishes Brexit Position Papers On Ongoing Union Judicial And Administrative Proceedings And Privileges And Immunities.
United Kingdom Government, Public Sector

On 13 July 2017, the Department for Exiting the European Union published position papers outlining the UK's position on the following issues:

  • judicial and administrative proceedings that are ongoing at the point of exit from the European Union: on the date of withdrawal from the EU,  cases before the Court of Justice of the EU that involve the UK shall remain ongoing, as will administrative procedures undertaken by EU institutions that concern the UK;
  • privileges and immunities as the UK negotiates its exit from, and new partnership with, the EU: the EU may have property funds, assets and  operations in the UK after the withdrawal date, and traditional periods will be implemented to give the EU a reasonable time in which to wind up its current operations; and
  • ownership and responsibility for special fissile material and related safeguards equipment: the paper sets out the UK's high-level negotiating  principles for its exit from the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community ('Euratom Treaty').
