The future of UK competition law and policy: BCLWG report on the implications of Brexit
On 26 July 2017 the Brexit Competition Law Working Group published its report containing its conclusions and recommendations on the implications of Brexit for UK competition law and policy. Premised on the assumption that the UK will leave both the ‘single market’ and the EEA as a consequence of Brexit, the report has two key themes: (i) the interests of the UK economy, businesses and consumers will be best protected by the legislative and institutional continuity of UK competition law, and (ii) transitional arrangements to facilitate coordination and cooperation between the UK and EU competition authorities are highly desirable.
