Recommendation 51

The outcome of the Lancaster House summit was a major step change in the UK’s relationship with the EU after Brexit, but it has, naturally, not been able to resolve all outstanding issues. Further pressure for negotiations will remain. We are supportive of the Government’s efforts to pursue additional priorities for improvement to the UK-EU economic relationship that were not agreed at the Lancaster House summit, in particular on mutual recognition of conformity assessments, accession to the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention and removing difficulties faced by UK touring artists. We hope to see more progress on these at the next UK-EU summit later this year. (Conclusion, Paragraph 135)
