GuernseyWealth Management

Jersey and Guernsey are not members of the European Union. However, with the agreement of both Bailiwicks, the Islands are the subject of Protocol No 3 attached to the United Kingdom's Treaty of Accession to the European Community. This protocol excludes the Islands from most of the effects of the Treaty of Rome apart from those concerning trade in goods. The trade effects of the Protocol are:

  • the free movement of industrial and certain agricultural goods between the Islands and the UK based on long-standing charter rights;
  • the free movement of industrial and agricultural goods between the Islands and EEA countries, with the exception of some sensitive products;
  • the free movement of industrial and agricultural goods between the Islands and the member countries of the EU;
