Overseas Trade: Greece
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to help increase the (a) volume and( b) value of trade between the United Kingdom and Greece.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
Reinvigorating the UK’s relationship with our European partners is a priority for this Government.
The Prime Minister met with his Greek counterpart in December, when both underlined the importance of the bilateral relationship, and agreed that there were opportunities to deliver further trade and investment for both countries. HM Trade Commissioner for Europe’s visit to Athens in October 2024 also served to strengthen engagement with industry stakeholders.
My officials continue to work to identify opportunities for UK businesses and address barriers to trade with Greece.
