Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom

 
B. Market access and non-discrimination
29.
 
The arrangements should include provisions on market access and national treatment under 
host state rules for the Parties' service providers and investors, as well as address 
performance requirements imposed on investors. This would ensure that the Parties' services 
providers and investors are treated in a non-discriminatory manner, including with regard to 
establishment.
 
 
30.
 
The arrangements should allow for the temporary entry and stay of natural persons for 
business purposes in defined areas.
 
C. Regulatory aspects
31.
 
While preserving regulatory autonomy, the arrangements should include provisions to 
promote regulatory approaches that are transparent, efficient, compatible to the extent 
possible, and which promote avoidance of unnecessary regulatory requirements.
 
 
32.
 
In this context, the Parties should agree disciplines on domestic regulation. These should 
include horizontal provisions such as on licensing procedures, and specific regulatory 
provisions in sectors of mutual interest such as telecommunication services, financial 
services, delivery services, and international maritime transport services. There should also 
be provisions on the development and adoption of domestic regulation that reflect good 
regulatory practices.

cooperation in areas of mutual interest, including exchange of information and sharing of 
best practice.
