What happens to Kolpak deals if/when we leave the EU?
Just read an article about this a few days ago....

An agreement between UK and EU means that current Kolpacs can continue until 2021 assuming we have Brexited by then.
However, Surely this must depend on when we exit and when that agreement was made we were due to exit tomorrow, now we're due to in one year's time after transition or one year after that if transition is extended.

But there's another fly in the ointment even in the event of Brexit not going ahead, the future of Kolpak players is in doubt. The Cotonou Agreement – which allows citizens from 78 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries to work in the EU if they have a valid work permit – expires in February. It has yet to be renewed.
