UK-EEA EFTA Separation Agreement Implementation

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is implementing the UK-EEA EFTA Separation Agreement, which governs the UK's relationship with European Economic Area and EFTA states post-Brexit. The agreement is managed through a Joint Committee that makes decisions on social security coordination, professional qualifications recognition, and trade matters, with annual reports and amendments issued regularly. Implementation is ongoing with periodic updates on bilateral arrangements including the Switzerland professional qualifications agreement.
