UK Trade with EU

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has had discussions with the European Commission on the EU's Buy European policy.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Government routinely engages with the EU across a whole range of issues. Given the UK is one of Europe’s largest economies, and an integral part of existing supply chains, we have been clear with EU counterparts that the UK and EU should be working together to tackle the challenges we all face in terms of promoting economic security as well as boosting growth and productivity.
