UK Trade with EU: Trade Barriers

Question

This Government is working to break down trade barriers around the world, which my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business and Trade has set out publicly as one of our top priorities. We are leading a whole of Government effort to remove a hit list of 100 barriers, which could open up opportunities to UK exporters worth more than £20 billion. This includes barriers arising in Europe and within the EU. In the year to March 2023, we resolved 45 market access barriers in Europe, a 10% increase year on year.
