RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
_A paper by the British Government, relevant to all three Strands_
1. If a comprehensive settlement is achieved which addresses all the relevant relationships there would need to be co-ordination between whatever structures emerge from discussions in each of the Three Strands. What follows is written on the assumption that\, under a comprehensive agreement\, new political institutions would be established within Northern Ireland\, new structures would be established to give effect to new relationships within the island of Ireland and new or revised arrangements would be made to cater for relationships between the peoples of Great Britain and Ireland and their respective Governments. For the sake of convenience and to simplify the drafting of this paper those institutions are described respectively as an Assembly\, North/South institutions and East/West institutions. Whether such institutions materialise\, and what functions and name they might be given remains\, of course\, a matter for negotiation.
2. It is clearly the case that any relationships between new institutions will ultimately depend on the detailed constitution and functions of those institutions. What follows is therefore necessarily speculative until the nature of new institutions which might be agreed in the three strands becomes clearer. This paper should be read in conjunction with the other papers already tabled by the British Government in the three strands.
3. Without being prescriptive\, relationships might be established across the three strands to allow for the following exchanges:
4. The exchanges could take place for different purposes including the following:
5. Exchanges could also take place:
6. It would be for discussion and negotiation between all the participants as to the character of the exchanges that were relevant in any particular situation.

This document, presented by the British Government, describes its position on the creation of new relationships between the arrangements arising from all three strands. They outlined exchanges where relations across the three strands could be established, such as between the Northern Ireland assembly and the Scottish Parliament, or between the new North/South institutions and the EU. These exchanges could take place for various purposes, including the exchange of information, coordination, consultation, etc.
