European recognition of Chartered Engineer Status

According to a bulletin issed by the European Commission (January 22 2018- Notice to Stakeholders)

'Authorized representatives or responsible people in the United Kingdom will not, as from the withdrawal date, be recognised as authorised representatives or responsible persons.....' .

My question is as Chartered Engineers are essentially classed a 'Responsible People' will the withdrawal from EU rules mean that CEng will have to seek registration as Eur Ing to work in or be recognized for work associated with Europe or Internationally.

Andy,

Your comment "other than that they must be in the EU" makes it a bit clearer. The Directives are for goods placed on the market in Europe and one of the requirements is that the seller must have a presence in the EU (so that they can be sued in the EU when thing go wrong?) so once the UK is no longer a part of the EU, an office in the UK does not count as meeting that and the people in it can't claim they are the responsible persons under EU Directives.
