Agenda
11. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• Article 50 sets out the formal mechanism to leave the EU
• UK must take a decision to leave the EU “in accordance with
its own constitutional requirements”
• Outcome of Referendum advisory to the Government -
result does not trigger Article 50
• Government must formally trigger Article 50 process by
giving notice to the European Council
• Will an Act of Parliament be needed or can the Government
use its Royal Prerogative powers?
• At least 7 private actions arguing that an Act of Parliament is
needed – case will be heard in October 2016
Article 50 Treaty on the European Union
Mechanism for Leaving the EU (1)
12. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• When will Article 50 notice be given?
• Not in 2016 – expected early 2017
• When will the UK leave the EU?
• Date the withdrawal agreement comes into force; or
• Two years after the notification unless unanimously
extended by the European Council and the UK
Timing
Mechanism for Leaving the EU (2)
13. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• UK/EU negotiate and conclude an agreement setting out
the withdrawal arrangements taking account the
framework for future relationship together
• Two agreements?
• Withdrawal agreement – needs to be agreed by European
Parliament and Council
• Trade agreement – will need:
• European Parliament approval
• Unanimous consent and ratification of all Member States
Article 50 Treaty on the European Union
Mechanism for Leaving the EU (3)
14. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• Free trade arrangement founded in 1960 by Austria,
Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK
• EFTA has said it would welcome an application from the UK to
re-join EFTA
• Current members: Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and
Switzerland
• EFTA has free trade agreements with 37 countries and is
negotiating others
• EFTA States free to negotiate their own free trade
agreements e.g. Switzerland with China and Japan
• Being a member of EFTA does not give access to the Internal
Market
European Free Trade Area (“EFTA”)
15. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• Founded in 1992 and effective in 1994
• Intended to create closer cooperation between EU and
EFTA, pending EFTA States accession to the EU
• EU Member States and three EFTA States (Iceland,
Lichtenstein and Norway)
• Access to the Internal Market governed by EEA
Agreement – all four freedoms but outside Common
Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy
• EEA minus free movement of people?

Five Brexit Models
17. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• On Brexit, UK will lose benefit of EU’s free trade
agreements but will be able to negotiate its own free
trade agreements
• Already interest from a number of countries – Australia,
Canada, China, Ghana, India, Mexico, New Zealand,
South Korea, US
• Preliminary talks with India
• UK can negotiate terms of free trade agreements but
cannot conclude them before Brexit – exclusive EU
competence
Trading with the Rest of the World
18. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |
• Supply chains – do they cross the UK and other EU Member
States?
• Risks of and opportunities from ceasing to be in the Customs
Union
• Loss of EU trade deals
• New trade deals
• Recruitment of people from the UK for your EU operations
and vice-versa
• Effect on contracts
How could Brexit impact your business?
19. Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |Eversheds LLP | 27/07/2016 |

consider what it will mean for them
• Eversheds has a team of experts that can advise you on the
potential impact Brexit will have on your business
• We can help you identify the specific risks, challenges and
opportunities for your business to manage your exposure and
