via trade associations, and through the Department’s participation in the Automotive
Council.</p><p> </p><p>Government has understood BMW’s warning that no deal would
be a danger to MINI production in the UK. We have also heard from Toyota the impact
that a no deal scenario would have on its business.</p><p> </p><p>Leaving the EU with

area for goods, including automotive. This would combine deep regulatory and customs
cooperation with no tariffs and no quotas, underpinned by provisions ensuring open
and fair competition.</p>
