<p>The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that
in 2011 around 38,800 manufacturing jobs in the UK were linked to exports to the Republic
of Ireland, and around 34,500 manufacturing jobs in the Republic of Ireland were linked
to exports to the UK. The dataset can be found at the following link: <a href="https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TIM2015_C1"

Political Declaration sets out the framework for a future relationship that delivers
in our national interest, including protecting jobs in the United Kingdom. Both the
UK and the EU envisage comprehensive arrangements that would create a free trade area,
combining deep regulatory and customs cooperation with zero tariffs, no fees, charges
or quantitative restrictions across all goods sectors. This would in turn protect
integrated supply chains and jobs, both in the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p>
