Recommendation
The further negotiations with the EU announced at the Lancaster House summit were always going to present complexities. Compromises will need to be made on both sides. We recognise the Government’s desire to make rapid progress in the on-going talks to enable the benefits of a closer relationship for citizens and businesses with the EU to materialise. We urge our EU partners to recognise the significant flexibility the UK has already shown to make the new Strategic Partnership a success, and to reciprocate in kind with a due sense of urgency and purpose in the remaining strands of work. (Conclusion, Paragraph 110)
