Brexit – British food sector: a free trade agreement with the EU is essential
According to the British food producer and retail networks, the sector will definitely need a free trade agreement with the European Union after the termination of the British EU membership.
The National Farmers Union (NFU), the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) made the call in a joint letter.
Separately, the EEF engineering group said a deal needed to be struck.
Terry Scuoler, the chief executive of the EEF, said: “The EU is our sector’s single biggest trading partner in a complex, tightly interwoven trading environment.”
He told the BBC that falling back on World Trade Organization (WTO) rules would hit some sectors hard. (Kertész Róbert, MTI)
