<p>The Government recognises the challenges and opportunities facing businesses across
the UK, including in the red meat sector in Wales, and we’re committed to getting
a deal that works for all parts of the UK.</p><p>We do not seek membership of the
Single Market after we leave the EU, but a bold and ambitious Free Trade Agreement
as part of a new, deep and special partnership. We start from a unique position with
regulatory frameworks and standards that match. We want to have the greatest possible
tariff- and barrier-free trade with our European neighbours, as well as to negotiate
our own trade agreements around the world. We want to ensure that UK companies have
the maximum freedom to trade with and operate within European markets – and to let
European businesses do the same in the UK.</p><p>Last month we published <em>Future
customs arrangements: a future partnership paper</em>, which sets out very clearly
the Government’s objectives for a new customs arrangement with the EU, and our proposals
to achieve them. As we leave the Customs Union, the Government will seek a new and
ambitious customs arrangement with the EU that facilitates as frictionless trade as
possible in goods between the UK and EU and allows us to forge new trade relationships
with our partners in Europe and around the world.</p>
