What is the European Free Trade Association?
• An inter-governmental organisation set up for the promotion of free trade and economic integration to the benefit of its four Member States
• Established in 1960 (originally 7 countries – including the UK)
• Now comprising only four countries:
‒ Norway
‒ Iceland
‒ Liechtenstein
‒ Switzerland
• As a block: 12th largest trader in goods; 7th largest in services
• 25 Free Trade Agreements (covering 35 countries)

What is the European Union Economic Area (EEA)?
• EEA Agreement entered into force on 1 January 1994
‒ Extends the Single Market to three of the EFTA countries (Norway, Iceland & Liechtenstein)
‒ Applies EU legislation covering the four freedoms – goods, services, capital and people
‒ Includes EU rules on competition and state aid
• Also covers cooperation in several policy areas, such as R&D, education, social policy, environment, consumer protection and tourism
• EXCLUDES key policies such as Common Agriculture & Fisheries, Customs Union, Common Trade Policy, Economic & Monetary Union, Justice & Home Affairs
• No right to participate in EU political decision-making (but EEA EFTA experts do help shape EU legislation via committees)
• Relevant EU legislation is incorporated into EEA Agreement (via EEA Joint Committee Decision)

The ‘Swiss Model’
• EFTA membership only (not a signatory to EEA)
• Access to EU single market negotiated through 120+ bilateral agreements
‒ Agreements negotiated sector by sector, with subsidiary agreements governing movement of services
‒ First series of agreements took six years to negotiate
‒ Free movement is a cornerstone
• Where EU laws apply to Switzerland, fresh negotiations are required every time EU policies change (unlike the EEA)
• Swiss business frustrated by lack of certainty over access to the EU
‒ EFTA meant to be stepping-stone to full EEA membership
‒ Uncertainty heightened by 2014 referendum to impose quota on free movement
• EU taking a hard line…

The ‘Swiss Model’ Switzerland’s relationship with the EU
• Switzerland’s bilateral agreements with the EU do not cover financial services
‒ Swiss financial intermediaries that want access to the single market must establish EU-based subsidiaries
‒ Limited cross-border financial services from Switzerland
‒ On-going tensions around freedom of movement
Some statistics (from 2012)
56% of Switzerland’s exports went to the EU*
EU accounted for 64.7% of Switzerland’s foreign trade
Switzerland accounted for 7.7% of the EU’s foreign trade**
Switzerland pays 40% as much as the UK to be part of the single market in goods (on a per capita basis)

The ‘Norwegian Model’
• EFTA and EEA membership
• Governed by the EEA Agreement:
‒ Allows for access to the single market
‒ Retains the free movement principles for all ‘four freedoms’
• Certain specific carve-outs:
‒ Agriculture and fisheries not covered by the EEA
• Subject to the supremacy of EU law in the majority of areas through the EFTA Court and EFTA Surveillance Authority
• No right to influence EU policy, new laws or regulations, but must still contribute to the EU budget… ‒ The UK would have to keep all
current EU Regulations ‒ Norway pays around 83% (per
capita basis) of UK’s contribution to the EU…
• Politically unacceptable unless amended? ‒ Uncertainty over ability to
negotiate derogations to ‘free movement’

The ‘Canadian Model’ – free trade agreement
Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta)
• A controversial treaty negotiated between the EU and Canada over a six year period
• Yet to be implemented, despite negotiations concluding in August 2014
• Dogged by political shenanigans (NB requires ratification by each EU Member State)
Pros Cons
No contribution to the EU budget required
Will eliminate most tariffs on goods
No access to the single market or the other ‘freedoms’
A lengthy process
Exporters will have to prove that their goods are entirely ‘made in Canada’

The ‘Turkish Model’
• Member of the EU Customs Union ‒ Tariff-free access (without quotas) to the EU
single market for goods. Agricultural goods (except those which are processed) are excluded
‒ Does not apply to services* or public procurement
‒ No free movement of people
‒ Common external tariff for the products covered above
• Has bilateral trade concession which apply to agricultural products
• Signed free trade agreements with EFTA, Croatia and several other states**
• Member of Euro-Mediterranean partnership – able to conclude free trade agreements with all other Mediterranean partners

Will the UK ‘go it alone’ as a member of the World Trade Organisation?
• The UK would have more sovereignty (and therefore control its own trade policy)…
• …but less favourable trading terms with the EU, with the prospect of a bigger fall in GDP
• The UK would not have to allow free movement of persons and would not need to contribute to the EU budget. EU law would not apply in the UK
• UK exports to the EU would face tariffs (which they currently don’t)
• Exporters would still need to meet EU product standards
• The WTO offers little protection to exporters on an individual basis, as there is limited ability to enforce its rules

Practicalities of Brexit…
• Will ratification of Brexit referendum result be required in Parliament?
• Notice must be given to the EU under Article 50 Treaty on European Union
• Withdrawal will take effect from earlier of:
‒ Entry into force of a withdrawal agreement within EC
‒ Two years from date Art 50 is invoked
• EC may refuse to negotiate new terms until UK has left the EU…
• European Communities Act 1972 would need to be repealed
‒ Would effectively repeal all directly and indirectly applicable EU legislation
‒ ‘Saving legislation’ needed to preserve status quo pending new agreement
• Unless we remain in EEA, UK will become a ‘third country’ for EU law purposes:
‒ Equivalence decision(s) required to continue doing business in EU
‒ May be time-consuming; does not cover all legislation

Tax The implications
Indirect taxes Direct taxes Social security contributions for internationally mobile employees
What could the re-negotiated package look like? Similar to models of Norway or Switzerland – retain access to single market?
VAT – likely to remain in some form as high revenue generator Customs duties – if do nothing, likely to apply on entry into and out of UK, however if negotiate to join European Free Trade Association or similar, likely be dropped
Multi-national groups – Parent-subsidiary Directive, Mergers Directive and Interest and royalties directive – potential impact on withholding taxes, cross-border mergers Tax treaties – likely to remain BEPS and other international tax policy – UK been key player and early adopter, unlikely to see change in approach

Tax The implications
Practical considerations • Use two year period to look at how, and extent,
that UK group companies are used as a gateway to EU, plan over this period as trade agreements and tax plans become clearer
• Consider implication of currency fluctuations during the transitional period to avoid unexpected tax charges
• HMRC have serious lack of resource to implement any changes and do the day job
The positives • UK may not be part of the EU tax
anti-avoidance package ‒ Allow UK to continue to have say over how
implement BEPS recommendations such as interest deduction rules due in 2017
‒ UK does not want a common corporate tax base. The UK’s move away from this may allow the UK to be seen as attractive to investors
• No state aid rules outside of the EU? – more scope for UK to attract inward investment through tax-advantaged schemes such as EIS, VCT, EMI and R&D tax credit schemes

Consumer law Key issues
• Current regime – will current UK law remain as enacted?
• Interpretation – currently, UK courts interpret UK law implementing EU law in the light of the wording and purpose of the implemented EU directive. What will happen in case of Brexit? Will judges keep the same approach or will they disregard the purpose of EU law and only focus on UK?
• EEA implementation? Geoblocking, Digital Content, AVMS, Sale of goods all of “EEA relevance”.
• Future regime – party line is that nothing has changed – loss of influence for the UK in policy development – less of a voice for our UK representatives? More protectionist approach taken by France and Germany?
• Overall – is it attractive to be an outlier? Time/expense/differences would make UK less attractive to do business with.

Commercial contracts Some issues to consider
• Overall premise: UK case law will seemingly remain applicable for contract interpretation
• For contracts due to expire pre-Brexit: seemingly less impact (as yet)
• For longer term contracts that span Brexit: ‒ Check contracts for references to EU
Regulations – may no longer be applicable; ‒ Un-anticipated costs in compliance with new
UK legal requirements – who picks up costs of changes in service provision as a result of a changed legal/regulatory regime?
‒ Underlying costings/prices may be impacted if for example free movement of labour/goods is rowed back from
• Potential requests for a ‘Brexit/Hardship’ clause? Akin to France and other jurisdictions, where if a contract becomes uneconomic parties have a right to re-negotiate?
• Live issues we’ve come across since the Referendum: ‒ Request for compliance with GDPR from 25
May 2018 onwards regardless ‒ Request for price increases/currency
valuation clauses

Data Protection Key messages
• Pre-Brexit – Highly likely that the GDPR will still apply in the UK from 25 May 2018;
• Brexit will not affect UK/EEA personal data flows in either direction until at least late 2018;
• Post-Brexit – Likely that any future UK data protection laws would closely align with the GDPR to ensure the “adequacy” status = free flow of data between the UK and EU
ICO says: • International consistency around data
protection laws and rights is crucial both to businesses and organisations and to consumers and citizens;
• Having clear laws with safeguards in place is more important than ever given the growing digital economy;
• Reform of the UK law remains necessary; • Cross border co-operation will continue.

Data Protection Key recommendations
• Continue business as usual ‒ At least in the short term Brexit will not raise any barriers to personal data flows between the UK
and other EU member states.
• Continue with GDPR compliance projects as planned ‒ The GDPR is likely to apply in the UK pre-Brexit and will heavily influence the reform of UK data
protection laws post-Brexit.
• Approach data protection policies and procedures across the EU consistently especially if your business is global ‒ Global businesses will still need to satisfy the higher thresholds of the GDPR where it operates, or
sells into, or process personal data about people in the EU.
• Look out for new ICO guidance

Regulatory Public procurement – how might Brexit change things?
• Public policy will demand a transparent framework for public procurement
• Any modern trade agreement includes provisions on opening up and regulation of government procurement markets (e.g. CETA) and limitations on the freedom to use public funds to underpin UK industry alone
• The UK could join WTO without joining its Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) – but very unlikely ‒ The EU Directives are, in practice,
expressing the GPA requirements
• GPA rules require something very like the EU Directives, with appropriate remedies
• EU is on the path to legislating to provide for means of closing its own markets to countries that do not provide reciprocal access
• If so, the UK will have to put in place something comparable to the GPA rules just to continue to trade with the EU

Regulatory Public procurement – other Brexit fall out?
• Likely to be consultation on change to the regulated procurement regime
‒ Opportunities to influence (e.g. Procurement Lawyers Association)
• Short term delay to projects (e.g. HS2; third runway at Heathrow; R&D projects)
• More austerity if UK falls into recession
• Potential increase in litigation if number of projects decreases?
• Move from remedies for breach of statutory duty to grounds based on administrative law breaches (Judicial Review)

Regulatory Health and Safety key regulation
UK’s stance on H&S and core legislation (Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974) pre-dates the EU
We see limited scope for fundamental change to existing regime
Overly prescriptive
regulation driven by the EU could
be reviewed
Preserve the qualification of proportionality/ reasonableness within the legal duties on H&S
No ECHR could result in greater
delays and impact on those facing criminal
H&S proceedings
Restriction on free movement of people could result in labour
shortages

“We see no reason why these principles should not persist in the event of a vote to leave the EU. Many of the rules in the Codes have been implemented by us to address obvious needs and have little or no European context in any case.”

Advertising Looking forward: what could happen
• European influence: e-cigarettes, nutrition claims, health claims, medical claims, comparative advertising
• Opportunity to change the Codes will provide:
‒ Flexibility (free from EU influence/red tape)
‒ Creativity
‒ Greater collaboration with industry
• International ad campaigns – how will the UK be treated?
CAP says: “Unlikely to cause immediate substantive harm to the advertising self- and co-regulatory systems or require marketers to change their approach to compliance with the Codes in the short-term.”
