European Environment Agency
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the number of staff required to replicate the relevant functions of the European Environment Agency after the UK leaves the EU.
- Answer
-
In common with other EU agencies, as part of exit negotiations the Government will discuss with the EU (and European Environment Agency Member Countries) any potential future relationship with the European Environment Agency. Currently, no decisions have been taken on the future UK membership of EU Agencies, including the European Environment Agency.
In taking any decisions on replicating relevant functions, the Government will always look to minimise disruption and costs.
