No change to the current

Issues for discussion

• Q9 only allows one option to be chosen, but maybe different
• ptions for different ACs should be considered.
• Several steps: first a new AC relation with the UK and

immediately also an AC like relation with Norway (and other 3d countries)

• Who is a UK stakeholder? Any UK citizen (even if they work

for an EU non-UK organisation) or any stakeholder working for an UK organisation/NGO/... ?

• How could EU stakeholders be involved in the future UK and
• ther 3rd countries consultation processes?
