UK Government Departments promote and support foreign direct investment, and the jobs that it can bring or safeguard, on an equal basis in all regions of the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

For inward investment, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) teams are structured to support the overall strategy of promoting the \u201cUK First\u201d, putting forward the areas of the UK best able to meet the requirements of the particular investor and so most likely to attract that inward investment. UKTI and its national, local and overseas partners develop inward investment opportunities that meet the sector requirements of investors.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

UKTI has agreed Memoranda of Understanding with the Devolved Administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (and with Local Enterprise Partnerships and London and Partners in England) to ensure an open and equitable approach. The UKTI operating model combines strong levels of local engagement within a national framework of support, to best support inward investment.<\/p>

The metals sector is expected to publish its strategy in Spring 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are supporting the metals sector, through the Metals Forum (an umbrella body bringing together the metals related trade associations) on the development of this strategy: this will bring metals into line with other important foundation sectors which have published strategies already. Foundation sectors are those such as metals, electronics and chemicals which underpin manufacturing.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The strategy will cover issues such as sustainability, supply chains, technology & innovation, skills and communication \u2013 which will all have an impact on the metals industry, including steel.<\/p>

The Government has consistently pushed for an ambitious agreement under the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations in line with the recently published mandate.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The European Commission has explicitly ruled out public services from the scope of any market liberalisation in TTIP, and it has therefore not been necessary to discuss any exclusions related to specific public services.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Commission has provided further details on the treatment of public services, available online at: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2014/may/tradoc_152462.pdf<\/a><\/p>
