answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>As the UK exits the EU, it remains our priority to replicate the effects of the EU-Pacific Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and implement it from exit day or as soon as possible thereafter. As Tuvalu has not signed the EU-Pacific EPA it is not party to the transitioned UK EPA although it is eligible to accede in the future.</p><p> </p><p>The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act enables the UK to put in place a UK trade preferences scheme for developing countries. This will provide the same level of access as the current EU trade preference scheme, granting duty-free, quota-free access to Least Developed Countries, including Tuvalu.</p> answering member printed Baroness Fairhead question first answered 12/03/2019 16:31:50 answering member 4690 label Biography information for Baroness Fairhead
