We have already made recommendations on extending the Government’s commitments to transparency of Free Trade Agreement negotiations to the negotiations with the EU. Given the cross-cutting nature and complexity of the EU relationship, we also recommend that the Government publish an Annual Report on the implementation of the Strategic Partnership ahead of each subsequent UK-EU summit and enable a debate on this document in the House of Commons. This should cover progress made in the previous year on commitments made in the Common Understanding, as well as the implementation of new mechanisms for cooperation established under the Security and Defence Partnership. (Recommendation, Paragraph 203)
