The Scottish government has called for post-Brexit guarantees over future powers and access to the single market in a meeting with UK ministers.
At a meeting with Defra secretary Andrea Leadsom, Scottish ministers pressed for EU powers within devolved competence to be passed straight to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Scottish rural economy secretary Fergus Ewing said he needed urgent and binding guarantees.
He said Scottish farmers wanted to know if they will continue to have access to the single market without tariffs.
Mr Ewing said: "Following repeated requests, I have again pressed the Secretary of State for clarity that EU powers will pass straight to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"I have also asked the UK Government to guarantee that Scotland will continue to receive funding at least at current levels provided from Europe."
'Vital protection'
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said European legislation and regulation offers vital protection for the environment.
She said: "I have also once again highlighted the need of many, including our research institutes, to have clarity on the long term rights of EU nationals to live and work in Scotland and on future access to EU workers – given how vital those from other European nations are to our research community.
"It is crucial that the UK Government honours its commitment to joint working and to take seriously the right for the Scottish Government to play a full role in decision making and negotiations of these key issues."
Key areas
Both ministers said asked for clarity on how the UK Government sees Brexit impacting on key areas including:
• Protection of funding that currently benefits the Scottish rural economy, including through the Common Agricultural Policy and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund
• Tariff free access to the single market
• Guarantees on the rights of EU nationals to remain and future access to the European workforce
• Guarantees that permanent access to our fishing waters will not be negotiated away
• The future of environmental protection and regulation.
