UK-EU trade and the level playing field


UK-EU trade and the level playing field

The House of Lords EU Internal Market Sub-Committee has announced a short inquiry into the role of the level playing field in UK-EU negotiations with a focus on EU state aid.

The inquiry will cover:

  • What level playing field commitments are and how they operate in EU free trade agreements, especially as regards social and labour rights and state aid.
  • The EU’s approach to state aid rules and possible reforms at EU level.
  • What opportunities are open to the UK in formulating its own state aid policy, in particular for supporting wider objectives such as "levelling up" the country and meeting climate targets.

The Sub-Committee will take oral evidence from late February through March, with a view to publishing a letter to the government in April 2020.

Join me for the following upcoming events on the implications of Brexit on the future regime for state aid control in the UK:
