The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is urging British and EU negotiators to pay attention to the warnings from traders and logistics operators on both sides of the Channel. Operators are warning that post-Brexit arrangements will need time and effort to establish the smooth passage of trade.
For this reason, FTA is calling on both sides to recognise that transitional arrangements should be a priority.
“For trade to continue to flow freely between the EU and the UK post-Brexit, it is now imperative that the arrangements involving the passage of goods are given urgent priority by the negotiation teams,” said Pauline Bastidon, FTA’s head of European policy.
