RIBA responds to the draft political declaration on the future UK-EU relationship

The UK and EU negotiators have reached an agreement on the Political Declaration setting out the framework for the UK’s future relationship with the EU.

22 November 2018

RIBA Chief Executive Alan Vallance says,

“Today’s draft text reveals that the UK and European Union have laid out some ambitious objectives for their future relationship. Whilst we welcome a commitment to maintaining cooperation on vital issues for architecture like mutual recognition of professional qualifications and market access for services, today’s draft is still only an aspiration. The stakes are very high if politicians fail to deliver. This is by no means a ‘done deal’, it is crucial that they must not lose sight of what is important for the country, the sector and the profession.”
