Abstrakt
The primary objective of the chapter is to introduce readers to the complexity of issues raised by the decision of the UK to leave the EU in front of the sector of services. Services do not circulate completely freely even in the current EU and the separation from the bloc would cause decisively more complications for services traded between the UK and the European continent.
The text tries to outline possible scenarios based on the existing trade liberalizing agreements that have been concluded between the EU and several third countries in as well as outside Europe. It also discusses the proposal of the future regime of trade made by the British government in July 2018 that offered to the EU the free movement of goods but only a limited freedom of movement in the services sector.
