European recognition of Chartered Engineer Status

EUR ING Alan Foxall
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.

    The Engineering Council are the UK partner or member of FEANI, which is made up of a number of national registration bodies like the EC. My point is that all EC registration (Eng Tech IEng & CEng) are recognized by other nations (including the EU) by  virtue of the EC membership of FEANI. So I would have thought that the future relationship between the UK and EU would have been discussed between the EC and FEANI and our own Government to come to an opinion of whether this exisiting recognition continues or changes. However (and this is my main query) I have seen nothing from the IET or the EC on this issue, and it seems ; to me, that the EC etc are sitting on the fence to see what happens, I hope that I am wrong?
