answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement seeks to reduce the costs for traders of customs processes introduced following the end of the transition period with the EU. It supports efficient customs arrangements and ensures that goods originating in the EU or UK are not subject to tariffs. For goods that do not meet requirements of the rules of origin, tariffs still apply. Products sent between the EU to the UK may also be liable for other charges such as excise duty and import VAT. The extent to which any of these charges and impacts feed through to consumer prices is based on a range of factors including individual business decisions. answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/05/2021 14:10:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

This month the G20, with full support from the G7, agreed to a six-month extension to the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI), which will continue to provide countries with additional fiscal space to respond to the crisis, and to free up resources to fund social, health, economic and climate measures. The G7 is also committed to the successful implementation of the Common Framework, which as we look to prioritizing a longer-term approach to addressing debt vulnerabilities, is the most effective mechanism to help countries achieve debt sustainability. The fiscal headroom provided by the Common Framework will allow low-income countries to spend on productive investments that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As part of our G7 and COP26 Presidency, we are seeking to improve the quantity, quality, effectiveness and accessibility of public climate finance and working to ensure that every financial decision – public and private – takes climate change into account. This will help to ensure that countries have the resources they need to reach their climate and nature goals.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 19/04/2021 08:52:50 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
