Of course the EU agreements end but the bilateral agreements that existed ( and perhaps
even predate EU membership ? ) between two countries will continue and no doubt be enhanced
by the UK, who will most likely use the bilateral agreement route between countries to continue
those things that are in the mutual interest of the two countries concerned.

That is why Ireland is not in a position as yet to be able to confirm its commitment to the CTA going forward.
Furthermore it is not possible for a member state to negotiate such a bilateral treaty going forward. Such an agreement will have to be with the EU and approved by the 37 regional and national parliaments plus the EU parliament.

While the UK is indeed free again to negotiate after Brexit, the EU countries have ceded authority to the EU in those areas, they can no longer conclude bilateral treaties. In fact they can't even negotiate on those topics, much like the UK can't negotiate now (and until after Brexit) with 3rd countries.
The UK's only negotiation counterpart in the EU is the EU itself.

I wonder if the Ireland will share your view a year after a hard BREXIT, probably not but will the rest of the EU care?

Precisely - but there again what about the Spanish Foreign Minister who( when interviewed by
Andrew Marr ) said British Expats in Spain had nothing to worry about, even if there's a no deal ??

Tonight, we are finding ourselves truly at the edge of the precipice- and anything can happen.
You may like JOB or hate him - but never has modern Britain faced such an incredible, destructive and utterly messy situation: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...64824773823879 |

So, the Conservative Party is running around like headless chickens to see who is the last one to get stabbed in the back- and oh, they are planning to make ... David Davies PM. Oh my that will be just great- not as if he is not already the laughing stock for his total inadequacy during the negotiations.
The Tories are imploding and taking the whole country with them. Hope that this is what you Leavers voted for. Hold on to your knicker elastic, it is going to be some bumpy scray ride in the next few days - and years  
Please sign the gov.uk petition requesting that in case of No Deal- Brexit will be cancelled. And go to London on Saturday to join the march.
Been predicting for quite some time that the DUP and the Irish Border, would be the final straw that broke that sick camel's back

Individual EU countries are signing agreements all the time with all sorts of non EU countries.
It may be that there are certain areas of comepetency where they can't. But it's not a blanket ban. Or if it is, nobody seems to be taking notice.
