answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Political Declaration states that the future economic partnership between the UK and EU “should ensure no tariffs, fees, charges or quantitative restrictions across all sectors”. It also states that “It should facilitate trade and investment between the Parties to the extent possible, while respecting the integrity of the Union's Single Market and the Customs Union as well as the United Kingdom's internal market, and recognising the development of an independent trade policy by the United Kingdom beyond this economic partnership.” Goods exported from the UK to the EU following the transition period will be subject to arrangements that are consistent with these objectives and principles.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Fairhead question first answered 10/12/2018 12:16:23 answering member 4690 label Biography information for Baroness Fairhead
