http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2012/june/tradoc_149616.pdf

84. In practice, all trade agreements will cover a range of reserved and devolved issues.

85. These principles should apply to any changes to existing trade agreements as a result of the 'grandfathering' process, in addition to any new trade agreements including the proposed UK-EU Future Economic Partnership. As future arrangements develop, further consideration will need to be given to address the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament's role in governance of trade agreements and wider trade policy, which should observe these same principles.
