answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government is keenly aware of the importance of our existing trade agreements to individual businesses and sectors across the UK. For example, the trade continuity agreement with the Faroe Islands is of particular interest to UK processing sector, with almost £200 million worth of fish and crustaceans brought into the UK from the Faroe Islands in 2017. The agreement will allow imports to continue tariff-free and enable businesses to trade as freely as they do now. Similarly, the UK-Swiss trade continuity agreement means the British vehicles sector could avoid up to £8 million a year in tariff charges on their exports that would apply if the agreement wasn’t in place.</p><p> </p><p>This is why we are committed to replicating the effects of these agreements as far as possible so that businesses have certainty and stability as we leave the European Union. We are preparing for all eventualities.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 19/03/2019 17:20:07 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery
