This contribution focuses on legal impacts of the United Kingdoms withdrawal from the European Union in the context of free trade agreements concluded by the Union with third countries. The key question is whether the UK will remain a contracting party to the current EU trade agreements.
Attempting to answer this question, the páper divides EU trade agreements into exclusive and mixed agreement and subsequently examines UK's current and future status in these agreements applying rules of interpretation of public international law codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties at their content and using various aspects of EU law.
