<p>In February 2018, the Government published its assessment of the implications for
business and international trade in the UK, if it leaves the EU without a deal on
March 29. This assessment remains valid.</p><p>The UK and the EU share a strong commercial
interest in maintaining the competitiveness of our automotive industries, which rely
on highly integrated and sophisticated just in time supply chains. Under a no-deal

of new customs procedures, compliance requirements and reductions in traffic flows
across the Channel.</p><p>BEIS ministers and officials regularly engage with the automotive
industry, bilaterally, via trade associations, and through the Department’s participation
in the Automotive Council, to discuss no-deal risks and mitigations.</p><p> </p>
