The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has called for urgent action to help improve trade with the EU.
A survey carried out by the BCC revealed that 60% of UK exporters reported difficulties trading with the EU. The business group said the number of lorries waiting to get into the port of Dover ‘also offers a vivid illustration of the problems continuing to impact the operation of the trade deal between the UK and the EU’.
The BCC has outlined a series of recommendations designed to help improve trade between the UK and the EU. The recommendations include supplementary deals to reduce complexity around food exports, exempting the smallest firms from having to have multiple country VAT registration for online selling, and a more pragmatic approach to be taken to the enforcement of import customs declarations.
