LNB news: EU transition helplines—post-Brexit transition guidance from the Cabinet Office

The Cabinet Office has published new guidance for stakeholders
Lexis®Library update: Subjects covered in this guidance include a list of helplines organised by theme and key actions for businesses. While the Brexit transition/implementation period ended at 11 pm on 31 December 2020 (IP completion day), the government continues to issue new and updated Brexit webpages and guidance documents on the associated legal and practical changes. Further guidance may be issued post-IP completion day, so stakeholders are advised to monitor these pages for updates.

The following new documents have been published:

New/reissued guidance:

• EU transition helplines

Both the UK and EU are keeping their Brexit-related guidance under review and re-issuing stakeholder notices where necessary or appropriate in connection with arrangements and changes taking effect after the Brexit transition period. Not all changes or updates are substantive, but the pages are worth noting for future reference and bookmarking. In some cases, the detail of the guidance may not have changed, but the context, timescales or status of the arrangements outlined may have been updated. In other cases, guidance may contain placeholders or more detail. Some of the guidance published post-IP completion day contains substantive updates to reflect changes taking effect in light of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and related/subsequent agreements.
