UK Trade with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to promote trade with nations in the European Union.
Answered by Chris Bryant
We have reset our relations with the EU and will continue engagement at EU level and bilaterally to build relationships that benefit Britain. While we have agreed with the EU the second Summit will not go ahead on 22 July as originally planned, we remain fully committed to this process, to deepening our economic ties with the EU, and to holding the next summit at the earliest opportunity.
We continue to work closely with partners across Europe to reduce barriers to trade and secure major export wins, like Sweden’s recent decision to select Rolls-Royce as its partner to deliver small modular reactors.
