Following the EU Exit, the UK Government has been pursuing a programme of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and other trade related agreements. FTAs with Japan, Australia and New Zealand have been signed, whilst negotiations are currently ongoing with countries and partners such as India, Mexico, Israel, Switzerland, Turkey, South Korea, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC – Oman, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar).
The attached document gives an overview of the work that the Welsh Government Trade Policy Team does, the status of current negotiations, and a request to businesses to provide feedback and views they have on trading with any of the aforementioned FTAs and countries.
Any companies who are currently experiencing difficulties can get in touch with the Trade Policy Team; they are eager to hear directly from businesses about the barriers that they are encountering with trade.
