The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today, Thursday 23 August, responded to the Government’s first round of technical notices.
RIBA President Ben Derbyshire says,
“The publication of the UK Government’s technical notices today confirm what we all feared - a ‘no deal’ Brexit will be devasting for the UK and needs to be avoided at all costs. We are now looking to the UK Government and the European Commission to provide real leadership and produce a deal that will provide the clarity and certainty that the UK and Europe needs.
The technical notices yet to be published must directly address the issues that businesses and in particular the UK’s globally successful architects, need confirmation. Both the UK government and the EU Commission have recognised the importance of maintaining mutual recognition of professional qualifications following intense campaigning by the RIBA, but we now need absolute commitment on this issue. We will update our members on how the announcements will impact them on a rolling basis via our website.”
