The seventh meeting of the Separation Agreement Joint Committee was held online on 20 October 2026, according to a UK government statement published the same day. Officials from Liechtenstein chaired the meeting, with representatives of Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom participating.

The Committee, established by the Separation Agreement, monitors how the agreement is implemented and applied. The agreement preserves largely the same rights as before Brexit for EEA EFTA nationals already living in the UK and for UK nationals living in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway at the end of the transition period, including residence, social security entitlements and recognition of professional qualifications. At the meeting, the parties updated each other on implementation, focusing on citizens' rights provisions, and representatives of the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the Independent Monitoring Authority presented information on monitoring.

The parties adopted a Decision amending Part I of Annex I to the Separation Agreement to incorporate two recent Decisions of the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems. The statement said the EEA EFTA states and the UK continue to work together on correct implementation and application of the agreement to provide certainty to citizens.
