This document states that the UK government is committed to ensuring that UK and EU researchers, universities and businesses will be able to continue to collaborate after EU exit. If the draft Withdrawal Agreement is finalised and concluded, UK Horizon 2020 participants and projects would be unaffected by EU exit. The government is planning for every eventuality to ensure cross-border collaboration in science and innovation can continue after EU exit in all scenarios.

The EPP group is proposing to object to the European Commission's draft arguing that there is no adequate transitional period foreseen.
