Our relationship with the European Union's agencies upon exit will be evaluated in light of delivering the twelve objectives outlined by the Prime Minister to achieve a deep and special partnership between the UK and the EU.

No decisions have yet been made on our future relationship with the EU's agencies after leaving the EU. We are considering very carefully a range of options.

As the Prime Minister has made clear the UK will continue to exercise its rights and fulfil its obligations as a member of the EU until our exit. This includes participation in the work of the Fundamental Rights Agency.
