The Chief Minister says the Isle of Man's future relationship with the European Union depends on how the UK's exit negotiations process.

The Council of Minister has published its third report on the implications of Britain's withdrawal from the EU following the latest update from the UK's EU Advisory Group.

Howard Quayle insists the Isle of Man is still keen to trade with the EU, but it's difficult to predict what options will be available until the British Government completes its exit talks.

Mr Quayle adds that there will be no changes to the Island's relationship with the UK, and that talks between the Manx and British Governments are ongoing.
